Crawley Town v Walsall preview: Reds can confirm safety against struggling Saddlers

Anything other than a Hartlepool win against Barrow would also secure League Two survival for The Red Devils. Dom Telford’s brace gave Crawley victory in what was one of, if not the biggest game in the history of the club.

The job isn’t fully done yet though and Crawley will be keen to ensure they can go to Swindon on the final day with nothing to worry about. They face a struggling Walsall in what is their final game at The Broadfield Stadium this season, who have slipped from play-off hopefuls to 17th with just one win in 22 games in all competitions.

The Saddlers are struggling and have recently sacked Michael Flynn and former Crawley left back Mat Sadler is in caretaker charge. His tenure started last weekend with a 3-2 defeat at home to Salford shuffling Walsall even further down the table.

A win for Crawley would move them just three points behind their opponents, which is remarkable given the points difference between the sides earlier in the season. Former Crawley man Isaac Hutchinson has been a bright spark in a poor Walsall season as he’s got six goals and six assists in 42 League Two appearances.

Scott Lindsey’s side should come into the game high on confidence and if they can make it four games unbeaten, they will be certain of League Two football. It has been a horrible season to be a Crawley fan but there can be something to be happy about finally as it looks like they will be playing League Two football again next season.
