History of the Crawley Town v Eastbourne Borough fixture

Crawley Town prepare to entertain Eastbourne Borough at Broadfield Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Reds have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Broadfield Stadium was less than a year ago, in December 2008, the Reds carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a (Conference) Premier match.
