Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Crewe Alexandra and Grimsby Town square off against each other at Alexandra Stadium in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The Railwaymen defeated Morecambe thanks to Elliott Nevitt’s goal on Tuesday evening and they are seen as slim favourites to beat the Mariners on home soil as well. Bear in mind, though, that talented midfielder Lewis Leigh misses the game through suspension.
Grimsby Town, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Harrogate. The Mariners are eager to stay in the “safe zone” in the League Two standings and, taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of Saturday’s clash, but midfielder Kieran Green should be recalled to the starting XI.
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.
