Crewe Alexandra form and stats

With 4 League One wins, 4 draws and 13 defeats from their home games, Crewe Alexandra are certainly not brimming with confidence. When Crewe Alexandra hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Morecambe, Doncaster Rovers, Lincoln City, Gillingham, Burton Albion, Crewe Alexandra and Fleetwood Town), they have won 3 of 6 matches! With nine home League One games in a row without a win, the Alexandra fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Charlton Athletic game long ago, can be stopped today.

Crewe Alexandra lost their last game at Doncaster Rovers (placed 23rd) after a 0-2 scoreline. Crewe Alexandra's goalkeeper Richards was extremely busy against Doncaster Rovers, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning seven saves.

Heartbreak before that as Alexandra lost 1-2 at Milton Keynes Dons's place.

Crewe Alexandra are traveling soon after this match as the League One match at Sheffield Wednesday awaits in four days.
