History of the Stevenage Borough v Crawley Town fixture

Stevenage B. prepare to entertain Crawley Town at Broadhall Way on Monday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 4 of the previous 6 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Broadhall Way was less than a year ago, in March 2008, with Stevenage B. running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a (Conference) Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Stevenage Borough's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Boro have scored 7, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Crawley Town's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The Reds's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 9 goals for and 8 against.

Stevenage B. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Blue Square (Conference) Premier with a return of just 1 points from their 4 games thus far. Crawley Town's 6 points from 4 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
