Peterborough United vs Crawley Town Match Analysis & Prediction
10/01/2024 10:30 pm
League One outfit Peterborough United play host to League Two side Crawley Town at Weston Homes Stadium in their Southern section quarter-final in the EFL Trophy.
The hosts got the better of Arsenal U21 to reach this stage, while the visitors also posted a notable win in overcoming Bristol Rovers.
Having strung together a nine-game unbeaten run across all competitions, Peterborough would have been confident of causing an upset against Leeds United in the FA Cup.
Instead, the Posh suffered a 3-0 home defeat to the Yorkshire giants, powerless to prevent a piece of genius from Patrick Bamford along the way.
Sitting four points adrift of League One leaders Portsmouth with a game in hand, Darren Ferguson’s side are well placed for promotion, but the manager will also want to reach Wembley through this competition.
Victories over Tottenham Hotspur U21 and Arsenal U21 have been posted along the way to the last 16, and expectation is growing after seemingly being provided with a favourable draw.
Crawley will have something to say about that having already beaten League One opposition on two occasions in this season’s competition, as well as Aston Villa U21.
Scott Lindsey is approaching a year in charge and the consensus is that Crawley are performing as well as they have done for some time, winning eight of their last 13 matches across all competitions.
An early FA Cup exit meant that they were in league action at the weekend, securing an impressive 4-2 victory away at Bradford City.
After prevailing in three of their last four league matches, Crawley sit in ninth position in the League Two standings, only outside of the playoff spots on goal difference.
