Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Crewe
Match Time & Date:
9 August 2025
15:00
Prediction: 1-0
Accrington
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Salford City, Crewe will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Accrington on Matchday 2. The Railwaymen have a chance to climb to top position and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash. A man to watch in the home team will be Conor Thomas, who scored a brace in the opening match of the season.
The Accy Stanley, on the other hand, shared the spoils with Gillingham in their opener, but they will have a big fish to fry against Crewe. As the Railwaymen have turned their Alexandra Stadium into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. Speaking of the away team, there are no fresh injury worries ahead of the trip to Cheshire.
Highlighted Team (Crewe):
Crewe Aleandra are a professional football club that welcome their rivals at Gresty Road. The stadium was built in 1906, and it can hold up to 10,153 spectators. Founded back in 1877, Crewe Alexandra play their home games in red shirts and white shorts, while yellow is the dominant colour of their away kit.
The Railwaymen played their first game against North Staffs in 1877, with the two teams sharing the spoils (1-1) at Alexandra Recreation Ground. Nowadays, Crewe compete in the League 2 where they take on their main rivals Port Vale. In 2014 a match between the two sides resulted in violence and arrests. The likes of Wrexham, Macclesfield Town, Shrewsbury Town, and Stoke City are considered the club’s rivals as well.
In 2013 Crewe Alexandra clinched the Football League Trophy as they defeated Southend United 2-0 in the title game at Wembley Stadium. Goals from Max Clayton and Luke Murphy helped the Railwaymen clinch their first and only Football League Trophy.
