We have a meeting here between the highest and lowest budget teams in League One on Monday night.

It’s reflected in the table, although probably not to the degree it should be. Birmingham are in 2nd place, and if they win their 2 games in hand they will hit the top of the table.

Crawley are down in 21st, but that is better than many expected and they have played well recently under new manager Rob Elliot.

But Birmingham should be too strong here, they’ve won their last 4 on the spin on the league.

Birmingham’s corner match bets count on the road this season are even at 4-4, but Crawley have lost 8 out of 9 corner match bets at home in the league.

Crawley average 3.9 per game at home, whilst Birmingham average 5.4 away from home.

With the majority of possession, we expect Birmingham will register more corners here.

The Blues’ opposition have received the most cards in 7 of their 9 away matches this season.

You can see how this would come about, as teams try illegal means to try and stop the superstars of the division having their own way in the hope of disrupting their rhythm.

Crawley have received the most cards in 5 of their 9 home games, with 3 ties and 1 loss. 1.80 reflects good value here.

The home side have been shown 2 or more cards in every single home game this season, so this looks like a strong pick.

Birmingham’s opponents have picked up 2 or more cards in 8 games out of 9 and Crawley may have to resort to incurring the wrath of the referee if they’re to stop Birmingham.

This has landed more often than not in both the home games of Crawley and the away games of Birmingham.

We have 2 sides whose first instinct is to attack, and that should lead to an open game. Crawley have scored 8 goals in their last 3 games, whilst Birmingham have scored exactly 2 goals in their last 7 games in all competitions.

The third tier’s most expensive ever player is starting to show his class over recent weeks.

He has 10 goals in 13 League One appearances this term, with 6 goals in as many league games since the 9th of November. Back him at evens to find the net here.

The young Scotsman has been shown 4 cards in League One this season.

Anderson has committed 9 fouls in Crawleys last 5 games. He’ll be up against two quality players in Paik and Iwata. The pair have been fouled 14 times in The Blues’ last 5 away games.

He may also be expected to cover over and defend against Keshi Anderson, who has been fouled 11 times in his last 4 starts.
