Crewe Alexandra form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Crewe Alexandra's two home games in the League One so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Alexandra Stadium.

Crewe Alexandra's last game was hosting Newcastle United U21 and winning 1-0. Ahead of that match, Alexandra won a home game hosting Milton Keynes Dons (2-0).

Manager D. Artell felt very clever after H. Pickering scored the winning goal against Newcastle United U21, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 46th minute.

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 Crewe Alexandra as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Crewe Alexandra has won eight of these, drawn two and lost six.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Alexandra as they are travelling to their away game against Oxford United in the League One. That match is three days after this one.

At Alexandra Stadium, Crewe Alexandra has the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Wigan Athletic form and stats

Things could have gone better for Wigan Athletic in their League One away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

Wigan Athletic's previous game was their home loss versus Port Vale (1-3). Before that, Wigan secured a home win against Doncaster Rovers with the score 1-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Wigan Athletic playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were one Wigan win, zero draws and six defeats.

2 goals so far away for Wigan Athletic, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Alexandra one win, one draw and Wigan Athletic two victories. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.
