Analysis

Fleetwood Town make the trip to The Broadfield Stadium to face Crawley Town in League Two, Regular Season - 16. The match kicks off on Saturday 21 November 2026 at 15:00 UTC.

Form & Momentum

Crawley Town have collected 1.00 PPG across 10 League Two outings this season: 2W 4D 4L. Last five: D L W L D. They are averaging 0.90 goals per game and conceding 1.30 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Crawley Town have played only a handful of League Two games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

In front of their own supporters this season, Crawley Town have posted 1W 5D 4L at The Broadfield Stadium — 0.80 PPG. At home they are averaging 0.60 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.

Fleetwood Town's overall League Two record this term: 2W 6D 2L from 10 games (1.20 PPG). Last five: D W D D D. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.40 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. Fleetwood Town have played only a handful of League Two games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Fleetwood Town's away record: 4W 4D 2L from 10 road trips in League Two this season (1.60 PPG). Away from home they average 1.10 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game.

A near-identical PPG reading — 1.00 for Crawley Town, 1.20 for Fleetwood Town — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.

H2H History

The head-to-head record is closely matched — Crawley Town lead 1W to 1W over the last 2 encounters, with 0 draws, though neither side has established a commanding advantage.

The 2 previous meetings have averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 21 Mar 2026, ended 0–1 with Fleetwood Town winning.

The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.

Trading

Crawley Town half-time and goal-timing data (50 games, 25 at home): they score before half-time in 56% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; BTTS occurs in 52% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 36% of games (home games); they fail to score in 40% of games.

Fleetwood Town half-time and goal-timing data (50 games, 25 at away): they score before half-time in 72% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 71% of the time; BTTS occurs in 52% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 36% of games (away games).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Crawley Town 0.83 xG and Fleetwood Town 1.29 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Crawley Town attack 0.681 / defence 1.084 | Fleetwood Town attack 1.073 / defence 0.868. League average goals — home 1.403 / away 1.109. Crawley Town's attack strength of 0.681 is below the league average — the 0.83 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 50 Crawley Town games / 50 Fleetwood Town games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Crawley Town 23% | Draw 31% | Fleetwood Town 46%. Fair-value odds: Crawley Town 4.35 | Draw 3.23 | Fleetwood Town 2.17. Fleetwood Town hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (31%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 36% | BTTS probability 42% | Total xG 2.12. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 64% — total xG of 2.12 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 42% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Fleetwood Town as the most likely outcome at 46% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 31% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Fleetwood Town if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 2.12 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 36% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 1.9 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 42% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Crawley Town 30% | Fleetwood Town 50% BTTS from recent games.
