Crewe Alexandra form and stats

The complete League Two results playing at home this season for Crewe Alexandra are 5-5-4 (wins-draws-losses). With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Crewe Alexandra.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Alexandra, who played 1-1 against Stockport County. That match was also played at this venue (Alexandra Stadium). McDonald, defender, was given a rating of 8.32/10 in that game, top of the team. McDonald served one assist, hit two key passes and won 14 of 20 duels.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Mansfield Town that finished 1-1.

Low-scoring affair? In this team's last 12 league matches, 9 have had zero, one or two goals.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Leyton Orient are coming to town in three days.

Crewe Alexandra are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 14 games.

Grimsby Town form and stats

As the visiting team in League Two matches, Grimsby Town have produced an overall stat of 5-1-6 so far. Bitter travels for Grimsby as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Stockport County match.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Luton Town in their previous outing. The FA Cup duel ended 2-2. Holohan got a match rating of 7.41 in that game, top player of the team. Holohan scored one goal.

It was a League Two defeat before that one as the away game against Swindon Town wasn't a success with a 0-5 loss.

After this away game Grimsby Town return home for a League Two game against Harrogate Town. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Grimsby have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 13 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Grimsby Town have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
