Preview: Crawley Town vs. Stockport County - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Monday's League Two clash between Crawley Town and Stockport County, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Crawley Town will attempt to claim a third consecutive victory when they face Stockport County at Broadfield Stadium in Monday's League Two contest.

Meanwhile, the promotion-chasing visitors will be hoping to claim all three points, having won just one of their last six matches.

Crawley are currently enjoying a rich vein of form, having won five of their last six matches, including their last two outings against Harrogate Town and Notts County.

After coming from a goal down to win 2-1 in their away game against Harrogate, Scott Lindsey's side repeated the feat in Tuesday's home meeting with the Magpies.

Notts County led for the majority of the contest following Sam Austin's 20th-minute opener, before Crawley took advantage of Scott Robertson's red card to stage a late turnaround thanks to efforts from Klaidi Lolos and Ade Adeyemo.

Following Saturday's round of fixtures, the Reds are currently sitting in 10th position two points adrift of the playoffs with three games in hand over seventh-placed AFC Wimbledon.

Crawley will move into the playoff positions if they can claim a third consecutive home league win for the second time this season.

Although Stockport have won just one of their last six matches, they have managed to avoid defeat in each of their previous four outings.

The Hatters played out back-to-back goalless draws against Gillingham and Swindon Town, before they claimed a narrow 1-0 victory over Newport County in their most recent home game

While they were unable to claim three points in Thursday's away clash with Salford City, Stockport showed great character to fight back from two goals down to draw 2-2 following goals from Ibou Touray and Isaac Olaofe.

Having taken 67 points from 36 matches, Dave Challinor's side currently sit above Wrexham and MK Dons on goal difference, while they are five points adrift of leaders Mansfield Town.

The Hatters will be hoping to move within two points of the League Two summit on Monday, but their hopes of claiming a victory may be tempered by the fact that they have won just two of their previous nine away league games.

Team News

Crawley are still unable to call upon the services of Ben Gladwin, Dion Conroy and Liam Kelly due to their respective injury issues.

Laurence Maguire could be presented with a place in the back three after he was introduced as a half-time substitute on Tuesday.

Adeyemo is likely to remain among the substitutes despite coming off the bench to score the winner against Notts County.

As for Stockport, Macauley Southam-Hales is a long-term absentee after rupturing his patellar tendon in last month's draw with Harrogate Town.

The visitors could be without Akil Wright, Will Collar, Ryan Croasdale and Louie Barry, who have all been struggling with injury issues.

Full-back Ethan Bristow was forced off in the first half against Salford and is likely to miss Monday's trip to West Sussex.


Crawley Town possible starting lineup:
Addai; Maguire, Mukena, Wright; Gordon, Williams, Lolos, Forster; Darcy, Campbell; Orsi

Stockport County possible starting lineup:
Hinchliffe; Kane, Horsfall, Pye, Touray; Lemonheigh-Evans, Camps, Sarcevic, Madden; Wootton, Olaofe

We say: Crawley Town 1-1 Stockport County

Stockport have seen three of their last four matches finish all square, and we think that they will have to settle for another draw in Monday's tricky away clash with an in-form Crawley side.
