Our prediction for this League 2 match:
After failing to win the previous three league matches, Crewe Alexandra will look to get back on course in League Two when they face Carlisle United on Wednesday afternoon. The Railwaymen are eager to climb to the automatic promotion places and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Cumbrians. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Carlisle.
The visitors, on the other hand, are eager to escape the relegation zone, but given their anything but good away record, we are tempted to bet on the hosts this time out. You should know that Mike Williamson’s men have collected only nine points in total on the road from possible 30 this term. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Williamson is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Accrington Stanley at the weekend.
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.
