Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Saturday’s football game at Alexandra Stadium pits together Crewe Alexandra and Swindon Town, the two bottom-table sides. The Railwaymen are stuck at the bottom of the table and they have yet to find the net in the new League Two campaign. Lee Bell is expected to shuffle his pack following an embarrassing 5-0 loss to Chesterfield Town, with all Conway, Tracey, and Knight-Lebel pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
The Robins, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Walsall. As the visitors are eager to grab something from Saturday’s clash as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the away team, Republic of Ireland forward Aaron Drinan should be recalled to the starting XI. It has to be noted that both sides managed to find the net in each of their last three meetings in the League Two.
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.
