League Two: The middle-of-the-table spots shows the journey Crewe Alexandra and Doncaster Rovers have taken uptil now. Both squads are eager to play; bring it on!
- Crewe Alexandra have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Doncaster Rovers have the most matches over the total-line (9) in League Two
These are hectic days for the home side, as they played only four days ago in the EFL Trophy. Thankfully the previous game, versus Tranmere Rovers, was also a home game here at Alexandra Stadium. The away team is better rested.
Crewe Alexandra form and stats
The story so far in the League Two for Crewe Alexandra at their home stadium (Alexandra Stadium) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
Crewe Alexandra's previous fixture was also a home event, the loss 0-1 vs Tranmere Rovers (in EFL Trophy).
Heartbreak before that as Crewe Alexandra lost 0-3 at Tranmere Rovers's place.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 12 games. Alexandra has won 7 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Crewe Alexandra as they are travelling to their away game against AFC Wimbledon in the League Two. That match is three days after this one.
Crewe Alexandra are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games.
Doncaster Rovers form and stats
As the visiting team in League Two matches, Doncaster Rovers have produced an overall stat of 2-2-3 so far. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Doncaster are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Clayton hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 81 successful passes (of 90 total).
The fixture before that was the EFL Trophy-duel against Barnsley, a home loss (2-4). So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest.

A new game in only three days for Doncaster Rovers, the League Two home match versus Stevenage. Busy days.
