Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Alexandra Stadium will host Tuesday’s football game between Crewe Alexandra and Stockport County, the two promotion-chasing sides. The Railwaymen are eyeing their third consecutive league win, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Despite scoring as a substitute in the last league match, Elliot Nevitt should once against start from the bench, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, are eyeing their ninth consecutive league win. Stockport County have been scoring goals for fun of late and given Crewe’s attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Crewe defenders should have Louie Barry at bay as the 20-year-old scored a brace in a 3-2 win over Grimsby Town 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.
