Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Tuesday’s football game at Alexandra Stadium pits together Crewe Alexandra and AFC Wimbledon, the two promotion-chasing sides. The Railwaymen aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Accrington and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Dons. Both Joel Tabiner and Shilow Tracey are in line for recalls to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
AFC Wimbledon, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, winning three of their last four league matches. The Dons aim to move closer to the automatic promotion berth, but beating Crewe on the road is easier said than accomplished. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Wales defender Joe Lewis is rated doubtful for the visiting team after limping off with injury in a goalless draw with MK Dons.
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.
