EFL League Two sides York City and Crawley Town will battle hard to become the last side to reach the first round of the 2026-27 EFL Cup or the Carabao Cup. This preliminary round match on Monday at York Community Stadium between the ‘Minstermen’ and the ‘Red Devils’ could be a test for both teams and their middling form, so our prediction is for both teams to score goals.
The winner of this game will progress to the Southern Section of the first round, where they face EFL Championship side Watford away from home.
York City will play in League Two this year after winning the 2025-26 National League last season. They warmed up for the upcoming campaign with six friendlies, but with limited success.
The ‘Minstermen’ had just two wins from those six friendlies (D1, L3), with those three defeats coming across the last five games. Five of those six friendlies saw BTTS, which could once again be the case here, though.
Crawley struggled through the 2025-26 League Two campaign, finishing just one point above the bottom two relegated sides. They ended that season with no wins from their last five league games (D3, L2), and that record continued in their preparations.
The ‘Red Devils’ won just one of their three friendlies this season, with both those defeats coming in their last two games.

Our York City FC vs Crawley Town Prediction
Neither York City nor Crawley have had consistent results in their preparatory games. York City had just one win from their last five friendlies, while Crawley lost their last two matches. These two sides will be playing in League Two this season, after York City earned promotion last year. This fixture gives a chance for both teams to progress in the Carabao Cup, but there’s very little evidence of recent form in backing a result.
Both sides have defensive concerns coming into this match, and that’s why our York City FC vs Crawley Town prediction is BTTS.
