CRAWLEY, England (Interstat) — Crawley Town seeks to avenge a narrow October defeat when it hosts Shrewsbury Town in a pivotal League Two clash on Saturday.

The match at Broadfield Stadium is a key fixture for both sides as the English fourth-tier season enters its final weeks. The visitors won the reverse fixture 1-0 on Oct. 18, 2025, a result Crawley will be eager to overturn on home soil.

Form favors Shrewsbury Town coming in. The Shrews are buoyed by a 1-0 home victory over Oldham Athletic last Saturday. Their recent results, however, have been inconsistent, with three wins, one draw and six losses in their last ten matches across all competitions. Notable results include a 3-2 win at Chesterfield and a 2-0 victory over Romanian side ASC Oțelul Galați in February, but also a heavy 4-0 loss to Crewe Alexandra.

Crawley Town’s form has been similarly mixed, with just two wins in its last ten outings. The Reds are looking to rebound from a 3-1 away defeat to Bristol Rovers last weekend. Prior to that, they secured a solid 2-0 win at Newport County on April 3 and a 2-0 home victory over Gillingham on March 28, but have struggled for goals in several matches.

The statistical service Interstat projects a tightly contested draw, simulating a final score of 1-1.

Following this match, Shrewsbury Town will continue its League Two campaign at home against Fleetwood Town on April 25. Crawley Town’s schedule includes a trip to face ASC Oțelul Galați on the same date, followed by a home match against Salford City on May 2.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time (1400 GMT) on Saturday, April 18, 2026.
