Peterborough vs Crawley Prediction & Betting Tips (23 January)

Crawley last dined at the top table of the EFL Trophy, suffering a defeat on the back of a run of one point from seven matches. For their part, Peterborough have enjoyed eight victories in 12 home fixtures at this level of late, so their opponents could be set for a rude awakening in what is their debut game.

Crawley are on a roll when it comes to their involvement in the EFL Trophy matches containing over 2.5 goals, with 21 in a row subscribing to this particular scoring model. This has also been the case in 18 of the last 21 second-tier fixtures involving Peterborough, so the deadlock should be broken at some point in this late-season clash.

The net tends to bulge at both ends when Crawley come calling in the EFL Trophy, with this being the case in 16 of their most recent 21 away matches, including in 1-1 and 2-2 draws against these opponents last season. Speaking of Peterborough, 18 of their previous 21 top-flight home fixtures have also seen neither goalkeeper emerge with a clean sheet.
