vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Crawley Town and Bromley meet in the South group of the EFL Trophy, a knockout stage with no league table involved. Crawley Town are going through a tough spell: four defeats and one draw in their last five matches. Their last match was a 1-4 loss at home to Milton Keynes Dons, preceded by another defeat, 0-2 away to Grimsby, and a third, 1-3 to Cheltenham; further back come a 2-3 defeat away to Accrington Stanley and, in the earliest of the five, a 1-1 draw away to Northampton. Bromley also have a losing record, one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five: their last match ended in a 0-1 defeat to Brentford U21, preceded by a win, 2-1 over Huddersfield, and a draw, 2-2 away to Blackpool; further back come two more defeats, 0-2 to AFC Wimbledon and, in the earliest of the five, a heavy 0-5 loss to Leyton Orient. In the head-to-head record, the most recent meeting, played at Crawley Town's home just like this match, came in December 2025 and finished 1-3 to Bromley; the meeting before that, also in December 2025 but at Bromley's home, finished 3-1 to the hosts; the earliest of the three, in July 2023 and again at Bromley's home, saw Crawley Town win away 1-2. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
