Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Crewe Alexandra in 11th and Plymouth Argyle in 16th place.
- Crewe Alexandra have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Plymouth Argyle is in the worst form (0-1-5)
It's no vacation for neither Alexandra nor Plymouth Argyle as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Crewe Alexandra form and stats
Overall League One stats at home this season for Crewe Alexandra are 5-1-3 (wins-draw-losses). It’s been three wins in a row for Alexandra here at Alexandra Stadium, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.
The Crewe Alexandra supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Northampton Town in League One and win 2-1. A 0-0 draw away in the EFL Trophy before that, with Hull City (after extra-time, 3-2 on penalties) the opponent.
Some amazing scenes last match, when Ryan Wintle scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time.
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 three games, won one match, drawn one and lost one.
Alexandra are traveling soon after this match as the League One match at AFC Wimbledon awaits in four days.
A decent goal production from Alexandra in their home games so far, with 14 goals from 9 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Alexandra have only conceded 8 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Plymouth Argyle form and stats
Plymouth Argyle, who have the fewest points (2) away in League One, have only collected 2 points from their away games in the League One, after 0-2-5 (7 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Plymouth who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Portsmouth was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Plymouth Argyle's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Plymouth play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Bristol Rovers (placed 15th). A loss against Ipswich Town was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Plymouth when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing zero times, drawing one and winning zero games.
After this away game Plymouth return home for a League One game against Milton Keynes Dons. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Plymouth as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. Plymouth have conceded 17 goals in these games. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
