History of the Crawley Town v Burton Albion fixture

Crawley Town are ready to welcome Burton Albion to Broadfield Stadium on Saturday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. The Reds have drawn more-often-than-not, but have lost the others.

The previous match played between the two at Broadfield Stadium was more than three years back, in May 2001, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a (Southern) Premier match.
