Crawley Town vs Crewe Predictions

It has already been quite the season for Crewe Alexandra as they have managed plenty of success in the league as well as booking their spot in the second round of the Carabao Cup to face newly promoted Premier League side, Aston Villa. However, before they can dream of that clash, they have to continue their league campaign and this Tuesday night sees them make the trip to face off against a Crawley Town side who will feel like they have plenty to prove.

Crawley Town’s start to the season did not exactly get off to the best of starts as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Carlisle United on the opening day of the season. However, things soon started to pick up as they saw off newly promoted Salford City in their following fixture and also managed to book their spot in the second round of the Carabao Cup by seeing off Walsall in a thrilling 3-2 victory. Although they have to settle for a point at the weekend, the hosts will be full of confidence going into this match.

Crewe Alexandra will be delighted with the start they have made to the season as they have recovered from the 3-0 drubbing they received from title hopefuls Plymouth Argyle on the opening day of the season in the perfect manner. The visitors have victories Walsall and Oldham Athletic in the league with their win via a penalty shoot-out against Championship side Middlesbrough sandwiched between those two fixtures.

Both sides will be feeling good about their chances heading into this match and both will want to continue their recent good form. The hosts have been pretty strong in front of goal of late and will be keen to avenge the 6-1 defeat they were on the end of last time these sides met. With the visitors also in good nick and looking strong in the head to head, we think that backing both teams to score represents the best chance of a decent return.
