Recent respective form guides

Grays Athletic's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Blues have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Crawley Town's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Reds's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.

Grays Ath. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Blue Square (Conference) Premier with a return of just 17 points from their 25 games thus far. Crawley Town's 32 points from 25 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
