Look at this absorbing fixture in the League One. Crewe Alexandra is in the 21st spot after participating in three games. They host Accrington Stanley who are placed 7th after three matches.

It's no vacation for neither Alexandra nor Accrington Stanley as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Crewe Alexandra form and stats

The first League One game here at Alexandra Stadium resulted in a draw. Last season Crewe Alexandra's home game statistics were 10 victories, 7 draws and 6 defeats from 23 games.

Alexandra haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 242 minutes ago. M. Mandron scored that one.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Portsmouth (0-2).

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 Crewe Alexandra have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won three, drawn five and lost four.

The manager D. Artell will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Leeds United in only three days.

At Alexandra Stadium, Crewe Alexandra has the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
