There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the League One table so far. Here's the Blackpool - Crewe Alexandra latest:
- Blackpool have the fewest matches over the total-line (9) in League One
- Crewe Alexandra have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Blackpool and Crewe Alexandra.
Blackpool form and stats
22 points is a decent return from 11 League One games here at Bloomfield Road for Blackpool. The data says 7 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. Blackpool are on a three game winning streak in their home games.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Christopher Maxwell not having conceded a league goal in 311 minutes.
A good away victory last time out for Blackpool, who won 3-0 against Charlton Athletic (placed 12th). In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Portsmouth.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Blackpool have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won five, drawn one and lost four.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Blackpool as they have a new game in only four days, a League One match thankfully also at home. AFC Wimbledon are visiting.
The Blackpool fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 11 matches. From these home matches, Blackpool have conceded only 10 goals.
Crewe Alexandra form and stats
Crewe Alexandra have only collected 15 points from their away games in the League One, after 4-3-8 (15 played). Alexandra seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Alexandra delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Sunderland (placed 5th) in their previous match; a League One game. A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Accrington Stanley.
Drawing 2-2 against Sunderland after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager D. Artell needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Alexandra in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Crewe Alexandra, three draws and four defeats.
Alexandra has another fixture away, a League One game, against Lincoln City in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Alexandra have scored 15 goals in 15 league games away. Alexandra's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 23 goals from these trips.
