Prediction: 2-0
Crewe
Newport County will be aiming to build on a 4-2 win over Forest Green when they take on Crewe Alexandra on Matchday 25. The Exiles quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Wrexham, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to keep their playoffs hopes alive. The good news for the hosts is that Adam Lewis has overcome a long-term injury. The Railwaymen, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Gillingham, but seeing that MK Dons have turned their Stadium MK into a real fortress, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match.
Crewe, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last four league matches. Given their shaky defence, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of spoiling Newport’s party at Rodney Parade. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
