The visiting Peterborough United side should be favourites in this visit to Crewe Alexandra, as the away team holds a 15 point advantage from their eleven league games this season.
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 Peterborough United.
Crewe Alexandra form and stats
Crewe Alexandra have collected 7 points from their League One home games so far after 2-1-3. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Alexandra to get some points in this home game. The Alexandra manager D. Artell might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 290 minutes without scoring a league goal. H. Pickering was the last player to find the net.
Crewe Alexandra's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 3-4 versus Shrewsbury Town (placed 22nd). A strong away win before that one, visiting Bolton Wanderers and winning 3-2.
A goal frenzy last time out for Alexandra, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Shrewsbury Town. Fun stuff to watch!
There will be little rest for Alexandra after this match as they are travelling to Oxford United for a League One game in only three days.
