Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Alexandra Stadium will be the centre of attention when Crewe Alexandra and Salford City go head to head in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The Railwaymen head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Doncaster and a win over Salford could see them climb to the playoffs berth. Head coach Lee Bell is unlikely to make changes to the team that faced the Donny at the weekend.
The Lions, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Grimsby, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home side. In their last meeting in the League Two Salford defeated Crewe 3-2, meaning that the hosts are hungry to get their revenge on the visitors. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Cole Stockton, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late.
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.
