Gillingham vs Crewe Predictions

• Gillingham have won their last three home meetings with Crewe.
• Crewe Alexandra have lost eight of their 11 League One away games this season (Drawn 3).
• Crewe have conceded at least two goals in nine of their last 12 League One matches.

Gills to breathe easier with win over Crewe

It’s hard to decide which of Gillingham or Crewe possesses the worst form heading into Saturday’s League One relegation zone clash.

Statistically, Steve Evans’ side have taken the fewest points in the division over their last six, eight and 12 games. They have taken three points from the last 24 on offer and lost their last six in all competitions.

They showed some heart late on in last weekend’s 2-1 defeat on a boggy pitch in Fleetwood and could have perhaps had a penalty to level the match on the hour mark. Gills backers will be clutching at those straws right now, but Crewe aren’t in the best of shape either and could go down to a spirited display in Kent.

Railwaymen have been rank on the road

Only three clubs in the division have conceded more times than the Railwaymen and their penchant for conceding multiple goals in games continued when Sheffield Wednesday won 2-0 in Cheshire last weekend.

David Artell is hopeful of having more firepower at his disposal this week after being forced into a late change of system and formation when Ben Wright went down with illness on the eve of the Owls’ visit. The Alex’s away form has been rank all season long, though, so we don’t hold out much hope for an away win here.

Gillingham have a good home record against Crewe over the last few years and are worth supporting for the win that could lift them out of the drop zone. A 2-0 correct score play is recommended because of the visitors’ shocking record of having conceded at least twice in nine of their last 12.
