Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Plough Lane will host Tuesday’s League Two game between AFC Wimbledon and Crewe Alexandra. The Dons aim to build on a 2-1 win over Rochdale, with the team eyeing their third home triumph of the process. The attacking partnership of Assal and Davison seemed to be in a perfect working order at the weekend, and the duo is likely to make life difficult for the opposition back-line.
With no fresh injury worries to report, Johnnie Jackson is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Dale. The Railwaymen, on the other hand, are on a five-game winless run in the league, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Courtney Baker-Richardson, who scored his seventh goal of the season in a 1-1 draw with Doncaster.
Highlighted Player (Will Jaaskelainen ):
Will Jaaskelainen is a Finland international who plays for Crewe Alexandra as a goalkeeper. Jaaskelainen started his youth career at Bolton Wanderers, but he made his senior debut with his current club. The Finnish shot-stopper played for the likes of Loughborough Dynamo, Nantwich Town, Buxton, and Chester on loan as well before returning to Crewe Alexandra.
Will Jaaskelainen has one cap for the Finland U19 national team, with the talented goalkeeper making his Finland U21 team debut in a 2-0 win over Ukraine on September 6, 2019. Speaking of his League Two debut, Jaaskelainen played his first match for the Railwaymen on April 19, 2019, in a 2-0 win over Yeovil Town.
The Crewe Alexandra shot-stopper wears the number 1 jersey, and his preferred foot is right. Born on July 25, 1998, in Bolton, Will Jaaskelainen is the son of former Bolton Wanderers and Finland goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen.
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.
