Crawley Town vs Fulham Prediction & Betting Tips - Carabao Cup

Prediction published on 21/08/2022, 07:42  by Indran in Carabao Cup Predictions

Crawley Town plays host to Fulham at The People’s Pension Stadium for this second round match in the League Cup. The home team surprised League One side Bristol Rovers 1-0 in the previous round of this competition but have failed to win any of their three matches since then. Newly promoted Fulham have made an excellent start to life in top flight football as they are unbeaten in their opening three matches. Crawley were disappointing in their last match when they lost 2-0 at home to Wimbledon in their League Two encounter. They are now second from bottom in the league with just a single point from their opening five matches. Crawley’s victory in the first round is their only win in their last nine matches across all competitions. Their home record is just as poor as they have only won one of their last six matches.

Fulham will be full of confidence after their rollercoaster 3-2 win over Brentford in their last match. They raced into a 2-0 lead within 20 minutes but allowed the opposition to claw their way back into the match and make it 2-2. Aleksandar Mitrovic was the hero for Fulham as he scored deep in injury time to snatch the three points for his team. They will be hoping to transfer their league form into the Cup competition and will fancy their chances against a team still winless after five matches in League Two. Fulham have only one loss in their last seven matches with three draws and three wins.
