Prediction: 1-1
Crewe
Peninsula Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Salford and Crewe, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Lions aim to build on back-to-back wins over Newport County and Sutton and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Crewe. With no fresh injury worries to report, head coach Neil Wood is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Sutton on Tuesday evening.
The Railwaymen, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Gillingham. Crewe have a chance to climb even to top position in the standings, but given Salford’s signs of improvement, the share of spoils is on the horizon at Peninsula Stadium. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier Crewe recorded a thrilling 4-3 win over Salford, but a low-scoring affair is on the cards this time out.
Highlighted Player (Conor McAleny):
Conor McAleny is a product of Everton youth academy, joining the club from Merseyside in 2003 at the age of 11. Despite the fact that his main position is centre-forward, McAleny is used as both second striker and left winger as well. McAleny did spend his youth career at Goodison Park, but it has to be noted that he made no more than two appearances for the Toffees at senior level.
The English attacker, who was born in Whiston on August 12, 1992, made his first-team debut in a 1-0 Premier League loss to Arsenal on December, 2011. Conor McAleny played for the likes of Scunthorpe United, Brentford, Cardiff City, Charlton Athletic, Wigan Athletic and Oxford United before signing a deal with Fleetwood Town.
The right-footed striker spent the second half of the 2018/2019 season on loan at Kilmarnock, scoring 3 goals in 11 appearances for the club in the Scottish Premier League.
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.
