After the first round it's Crewe Alexandra - Harrogate Town 3-3 in points. Who will prevail in this second League Two game of the season?

Playing at their own stadium in the former season Crewe Alexandra generated 5-5-13 (win-draw-lost) with 22 goals and 40 conceded.

Happy days for Alexandra in their previous game, a fixture away at Rochdale (placed 17th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Ainley (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.83/10. Ainley signed up for two assists and hit four key passes.

Prior to that, an away loss at Lincoln City in the League One.

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 4 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 0 and lost 2.

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

In total they scored 64 and conceded 75 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 4 and lost 11 with 32/39 goals scored/conceded.

The fans enjoyed Harrogate's previous game versus Swindon Town (placed 23rd), a 3-0 win played at home. Pattison has found the net for this team three matches in a row. The talent! Midfield player Pattison was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.91/10. Pattison scored one goal, served one assist and hit three key passes.

A 0-2 loss hosting Sutton United before that.

Harrogate Town 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, 4 draws and 8 defeats. From a total of 13 matches.

A new game in only three days for Harrogate Town, the Carabao Cup home match versus Stockport County. Busy days.
