Our prediction for this League 2 match:
The Wham Stadium will host Saturday’s League Two game between Accrington Stanley and Crewe Alexandra. The Accy Stanley made a slow start to the season, collecting only two points in total from possible 15 and, as a result, they are low on spirits ahead of Matchday 6. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in John Doolan’s team, we are not tempted to put our money on the struggling hosts.
The Railwaymen, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Bromley and Morecambe in the last two league matches. Given the lack of confidence in the home side, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. Barring any fresh injury concerns, Lee Bell is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Shrimps in the League Two round 5.
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.
