With six games played, Wrexham has risen to the top of the table in their third-tier season, which has started off well.
Even though Jack Marriott gave the Red Dragons an early lead, they ran against difficult resistance their final game, losing 3-1 to Birmingham City to end their winning streak.
Though it may be more said than done, Phil Parkinson’s team has the ideal opportunity to recover this weekend and will undoubtedly fancy their chances of winning at home.
So far this season, Crawley Town has been something of a surprise package. Though not many would have predicted the Red Devils to be seated 13th on the table at this point, it is still very early in the season.
The West Sussex team, led by Scott Lindsey, has won seven games thus far and drew their most recent match, 1-1, against Stockport County, another League Two promotion winner.
After falling behind early on, Crawley rallied with a penalty kick from Junior Quitirna to earn a valuable point against a formidable Hatters team. They will carry the momentum from this performance into their match against Wrexham.

“Crawley Town has already caught a few teams off guard this season, but Wrexham’s challenge might be the hardest they have encountered to date.
“It wouldn’t be entirely shocking to see Lindsey’s guys leave with a result at this stage. That being said, it is typically difficult to forecast anything other than a Red Dragons victory at the Racecourse Ground.
Prediction: Wrexham 4-2 Crawley Town
James Ray
After losing at Birmingham City, Wrexham should be assured of a flawless comeback when they return home.
The Red Dragons and the Blues are very different teams, despite the fact that many have grouped them together; this was evident on Monday night. Despite Crawley Town’s strong season debut, Parkinson’s team ought to be winning this one.
They have a great coach in Scott Lindsey, but I have my doubts about their offensive prowess, and against Wrexham, that might prove to be their undoing.
