Crawley take on the visitors Hartlepool in the round 21 match of English League Two. The match will be played on Friday, December 9th at The People’s Pension Stadium (Crawley).
Crowley tries to displease fans even and lower level. The Red Devils are remembered for how they fought in the 1/8 Cup at the beginning of the last decade to their venerable namesakes, Manchester United. As a result, the underdog lost at Old Trafford, but minimally, 0-1. However, even after that, the team, as a rule, hangs out in League 2, only sometimes climbing higher without much success. Last season with a final 12th place was a good result. The new rally did not work out, and at the end of November, Etherington, a fairly well-known football player in the recent past, for whom this is the first experience of independent work as a head coach, became the manager. So far, it works: in the debut match, his new wards beat 2-0 Swindon. But they still remain on 19th place (out of 24).

Hartlepool are at the very bottom of this division. The "Monkey Hangers" is a fairly typical representative of the lower-level British divisions. It has a relatively long history (founded in 1908), only amateur or regional successes and foreign (in this case from India) investors. Following the results of the season before last, it was finally possible to return to League 2, having won the playoffs of the National Conference. But after a relatively good run in 2021/2022 (ending 17th), Hartlepool now closes the table with a miserable 2 wins and 12 points after 20 matches. At the same time, the team manages to go further and further in the national cup!
Crowley had good stats with this opponent in head-to-heads. But last season, Hartlepool won both head-to-head matches. Crowley should still be experiencing the effects of the change in coach. Yes, and they simply take on the weakest side of League Two. We bet on the victory of the hosts of the arena.
Prediction for the match: Crowley to win.
