Prediction: 2-1
Salford
High-flying Crewe will be aiming to extend their winning run to five games when they take on Salford City in the League Two round 30. The Railwaymen have found their best form of late, with the team moving closer to the automatic promotion berth and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Salford. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
The Lions, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Bradford City in midweek, with the team extending their unbeaten run to three games. Salford, though, have already suffered seven defeats on the road this term and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Crewe’s party at Alexandra Stadium. In their last meeting at the venue Crewe recorded a thrilling 4-3 win over Salford and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
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.
