Our prediction for this League 2 match:
After suffering elimination in the FA Cup, Crewe will look to get back on course when they face Accrington in the League Two round 22. The Railwaymen have a chance to climb to automatic promotion berth and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Accy Stanley. Joe White is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the FA Cup defeat, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The visitors, meanwhile, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Bradford City and Swindon Town, while sharing the spoils with Doncaster Rovers and given Crewe’s fine home record (7-2-1), we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Talented forward Josh Woods is widely expected to return to Accrington’s starting XI after coming off the bench in the last league fixture.
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.
