Crewe vs AFC Wimbledon Predictions & Tips

Wimbledon have been afforded a great opportunity to end their 24-match winless run as they travel to Crewe on Friday. Despite their eye-popping run without a win, Wimbledon’s last two outings have offered signs of hope that avoiding the drop may be possible. Wimbledon have recorded two 1-1 draws, against Charlton and fierce rivals MK Dons, both drastically improved showings on what they have served up since the turn of the year. Wimbledon are three points off safety and must surely fancy their chances at already relegated Crewe.

Crewe may lack motivation following relegation

David Artell left his post as Crewe manager earlier this week following the confirmation of their relegation to League Two. Alex Morris was placed in interim charge, and is faced with the difficult task of motivating a set of players whose fate has already been sealed. Crewe’s relegation has been deserved, they have lost their last eight matches, scoring just four times in those contests, this dreadful run extends to 15 defeats in their last 16. Crewe have the worst home record in League One this season having taken just 16 points from their 21 home games this season.

I am happy to side with Wimbledon in this one. Spirits are probably high following last week’s 1-1 draw with second placed MK Dons, and they have the added motivation of still being alive in the relegation battle. In the correct score market, despite Crewe’s struggle for goals I don’t think we can trust Wimbledon to keep a clean sheet – they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine matches. I will chance a 2-1 Wimbledon win as the correct score prediction.
