Crewe Alexandra perform at a high level so far being 3rd in the table. Cambridge United can look both up and down from their 16th position.

Crewe Alexandra form and stats

Crewe Alexandra have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the League Two. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

Happy days for Crewe Alexandra in their previous game, a League Two match away at Grimsby Town (placed 7th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. Before that game, the home loss against Burton Albion with the scoreline 1-3.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Crewe Alexandra have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won 5 times, drawn 0 and lost 1.

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

Crewe Alexandra has scored 3 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Crewe Alexandra have conceded 4 in these home matches.

Cambridge United form and stats

Things could have gone better for Cambridge United in their League Two away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right. With the Cambridge United losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Cambridge United have lost on their last two travels.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League Two home defeat versus Forest Green Rovers with 0-1 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Port Vale wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Cambridge United are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 2 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of seven matches.

Cambridge United has another fixture away, a League Two game, against Mansfield Town in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Cambridge United as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Cambridge United as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

As for the last six games between these two teams, there's 1 Crewe Alexandra victory, 1 draw and 4 Cambridge United wins. 3 of these games ended with three goals or more, 3 matches with two goals or less.
