Crawley Town are in desperate need of a turnaround as they sit 22nd in the League One table with just 24 points. Their form has been shaky, with three defeats in their last six matches, and they now face a tough test against a high-flying Wrexham side.
The hosts have struggled in this fixture, losing four of their last six meetings against Wrexham, and will need a strong performance to change that narrative.
Wrexham, on the other hand, are enjoying a solid season, currently sitting 3rd with 52 points. However, their away form hasn’t been perfect, suffering three defeats in their last six road games. With promotion ambitions in mind, Wrexham will see this as an opportunity to grab a crucial win against a struggling opponent.
