Crewe Alexandra form and stats
Crewe Alexandra's struggle is real here at Alexandra Stadium with only 5 points collected from 6 League One games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-3. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Alexandra to get some points in this home game.
The fans are hoping that Alexandra will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the League One game against Wycombe Wanderers (placed 2nd). Heartbreak for Alexandra in their last match as Wycombe Wanderers's R. Tafazolli scored the winning goal deep into overtime. The goalie Will Jääskeläinen was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.11 out of ten. Jääskeläinen stopped the opponent with five saves.
Preceding that match was the home game against Sunderland that was lost 0-4.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Alexandra, as the League One home game vs Doncaster Rovers is only three days away.
Alexandra are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
Milton Keynes Dons form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their League One travels is 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
Milton might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Aston Villa U21 proved too strong as Milton Keynes Dons slumped to a 2-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadium mk. As you can tell from the result, the match against Aston Villa U21 was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Rotherham United.The travelling fans enjoy Milton Keynes Dons's attacking play in away games, having scored 13 goals in 7 league matches away. Milton's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.
