Crewe Alexandra form and stats

The last season was not a pleasant experience for Crewe Alexandra as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 7 victories from 46 games, relegation was a fact. Alexandra's manager Morris are hoping to lead the team right back to League One at the first attempt.

Crewe Alexandra are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats. From a total of 8 matches.

It's a day of discovery for Alexandra as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Crewe Alexandra have played eight with the results W4-D2-L2 (win-draw-lost). In these games Crewe Alexandra has scored 18 goals and conceded 8 times.

Head 2 Head
