The league table in League One tells a story about these teams so far, with Crewe Alexandra leading AFC Wimbledon by 14 points. Match preview to follow:
- Crewe Alexandra have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- AFC Wimbledon is in the worst form (0-1-5)
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 Alexandra and AFC Wimbledon.
Crewe Alexandra form and stats
The story so far in the League One for Crewe Alexandra at their home stadium (Alexandra Stadium) is 7 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
Alexandra's last game was hosting Bristol Rovers (placed 19th) and winning 3-2. Preceding that game was the away draw at Plymouth Argyle that finished 1-1.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Alexandra's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won two matches, drawn one and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Crewe Alexandra as they are travelling to their away game against Gillingham in the League One. That match is three days after this one.
A decent goal production from Alexandra in their home games so far, with 20 goals from 12 league matches. 12 goals have been conceded.
AFC Wimbledon form and stats
3-4-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for AFC Wimbledon in their League One matches away. With the AFC Wimbledon losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Wimbledon have lost on their last two travels.
Wimbledon are looking to quickly end their 239 minutes long goal drought in the League One.
Two away games in a row for Wimbledon, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-4 versus Portsmouth in the League One. A 0-3 loss hosting Sunderland before that.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Portsmouth was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Wimbledon playing away, we found seven games. Results were two away wins, one draw and four home wins.
Wimbledon has another fixture away, a League One game, against Doncaster Rovers in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The attacking power of Wimbledon when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 12 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Wimbledon have conceded 19 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
The teams have played each other before this season, with the result AFC Wimbledon - Alexandra 1-2 entered in the official records. Numbers for the last three meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Alexandra, one draw and zero wins for AFC Wimbledon. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: zero games.Top Goalscorers
