Crawley's equivalent run reads 4 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses, with 23 scored but 32 conceded. They've clearly had a harder time of it, though this sample includes cup and friendly fixtures alongside league games.

Crawley have been shipping goals regularly across this run, which lines up with their low league position.

Comparative Team Statistics: Crawley Town vs Fleetwood Town

A head-to-head record that's gone both ways

These two have met five times in the records here, stretching back over a decade and across different divisions. The two most recent league meetings split one win apiece, so there's no clear recent trend to lean on.

The older fixtures, including an FA Cup tie from 2019 and League One meetings from the mid-2010s, don't tell us much about either side's current form.

This head-to-head record is too mixed and dated to point one way or the other.

Where they sit in the table

Fleetwood Town are 12th with 14 points from 11 games, a reasonably solid return for this stage of the season. Crawley Town are down in 24th with just 5 points from 9 matches, already well off the pace.

That's a notable gap this early on, though both teams have played fewer than a dozen league games, so there's still time for things to change.

Crawley's position looks concerning, but it's based on a small sample so far.

Personnel notes

C. Evans has been Fleetwood's main creative outlet in this sample, contributing 2 assists in 8 matches. On the card front, nobody on either side stands out as a major suspension risk, though Crawley's M. Ebiowei and K. Gordon have each picked up a red card in a small number of appearances.

None of this amounts to confirmed team news for matchday, just some context on who's been involved recently.

How this one could play out

Fleetwood's steadier form and higher league position suggest they should carry more consistency into this fixture. Crawley's defensive numbers, conceding freely across their recent matches, are a concern heading into a game at home.

That said, we're still a month out from kickoff, and both tables and form can move quite a bit between now and late November.
