Two in form teams clash head on in a fight for three much needed points.

There may well be 8 places between them, but add on Crawley Town's 6 points they had taken away from them and these two teams are much closer than the table suggests.

Crawley are on fire at home with 6 wins from the last 6 games and 21 goals scored, with just 2 conceded, Ebbsfleet are in for one tough test on Thursday night.

Ebbsfleet Utd.	6	4	1	1	10	7	13

Were no mugs away from home, with 3 wins, a draw and 2 defeats in our last 6 away games. But I just don't see how we can hope for any more than a draw at best.

Recent encounters at Broadfield Stadium have been good for the Fleet, we have to go back to the 1995/1996 season to see our last defeat, click here for the full list of results.

Editor prediction:

A nice 2-0 home win for Crawley, with such hot home form - I can't see a way Fleet can handle them.
