Only a few games have been played in the League One so far, with Crewe Alexandra placed 13th and Blackpool sitting in the 22nd position.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Crewe Alexandra form and stats
Crewe Alexandra must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three League One games here at Alexandra Stadium. Alexandra has recorded two wins in a row here at Alexandra Stadium, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
The Alexandra goalkeeper Dave Richards is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 189 minutes without conceding a goal in the League One.
Alexandra's last game was hosting Wigan Athletic (placed 16th) and winning 3-0. Previous to that game, a EFL Trophy home match hosting Newcastle United U21 in a game that was won 1-0.
This is expected to be a close game, with Crewe Alexandra perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Alexandra as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Crewe Alexandra has won eight of these, drawn two and lost six.
Alexandra are traveling soon after this match as the League One match at Sunderland awaits in three days.
Crewe Alexandra have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Alexandra Stadium with 5 goals in 3 league matches. Alexandra are not conceding a lot of goals here at Alexandra Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Blackpool form and stats
No League One points yet away for Blackpool, from their first 2 matches. It's a growing despair in Blackpool as they have recorded three consecutive losses. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Blackpool have lost on their last two travels.
Blackpool failed to get anything from their last game, a League One home match vs Ipswich Town (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 1-4. A 1-1 draw at Accrington Stanley (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties)'s stadium before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Blackpool playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were two Blackpool wins, two draws and seven defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Blackpool are hosting Charlton Athletic in the League One only three days away.
Blackpool have the goal stats of 0-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
As for the last eight games between these two teams, there's zero Crewe Alexandra victories, three draws and five Blackpool wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
