Crewe Alexandra form and stats

There's been little loot from Crewe Alexandra's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 15 away games in the League Two. Crewe Alexandra only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 9 draws. Crewe Alexandra has built quite a streak of draws from their away games now, as five in a row has ended all square. Will this streak be broken in today's game?

O'Riordan, Agyei (2) and Tabiner scored in Alexandra's previous match, the home game against Salford City that ended 4-3. That victory felt nice as this side had gone four league fixtures without victory. A stark raving crazy game with heaps of goals last time out for Crewe Alexandra, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this fixture be as full of joy? Agyei got a match rating of 7.65 in that game, top player of the team. Agyei scored two goals and hit two key passes.

Before that, Alexandra travelled to Sutton United and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Crewe Alexandra played away with similar odds. This revealed 5 games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 0 times, 0 were draws and the home team won as expected 5 times.

The schedule is very tough for Alexandra now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Two game at Northampton Town is waiting in only four days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Crewe Alexandra as they have only managed to score 11 times from 15 away games in the league. Crewe Alexandra have conceded 20 goals in these away matches.
