Match Overview

Get ready for an exciting clash in the Carabao Cup as Swansea City takes on Crawley Town at the Swansea.com Stadium on August 12, 2025. With the match under the expert supervision of referee Ben Speedie, we can anticipate an enthralling encounter as both teams eye crucial progression in this knockout competition.

Recent Form

Swansea City enters this matchup looking to shake off a difficult start to their season. They've experienced mixed results lately, having faced tough competitors like Middlesbrough and Exeter City, both of which ended in defeats. Their only recent victory came against Stevenage in a nail-biting finish. With just one win in their last five outings, they will undoubtedly be eager to find their footing and deliver a strong performance in front of their home fans.

In contrast, Crawley Town has been struggling even more. A string of poor performances marked by low scoring and overall lackluster results led to a disappointing defeat against Newport County last time out. However, their earlier success in matches against lower-tier opposition showed they can score goals when in the right mindset. With this match being a cup competition, they will want to display their potential to cause an upset against the odds.

Head-to-Head

When we examine their previous encounter back in July 2019 during a friendly match, Crawley Town edged out a narrow victory with a scoreline of 3-2. However, with the stakes being much higher in the Carabao Cup, expect both teams to draw from past experiences to motivate their performances.

Betting Suggestions

Given the current form of both teams, Swansea City is positioned as the favorite to win this matchup with betting odds of 1.40, suggesting a probability of 71.43% for a home victory. The odds for a draw sit at 5.00, and Crawley Town’s odds at 7.00 indicate a tough uphill battle for the away team.

Our betting recommendation would be to back Swansea City to win. Despite their recent struggle, the home advantage and historical performance at the Swansea.com Stadium make them a formidable opponent for Crawley Town. Expect Swansea to bounce back with renewed determination and secure a victory that sets the tone for the rest of their season in the Carabao Cup.
