Forest Green set to record crucial win at Crewe

Forest Green set to record crucial win at Crewe

On Tuesday night, Crewe Alexandra host Forest Green Rovers at the Alexandra Stadium in a vital game at the bottom of League Two.

Both teams are just six points above the relegation zone, with Crewe above the visitors by virtue of a superior goal difference of three.

Crewe’s recent league form has been patchy, but the home side has won just one of their last four league outings. Last time out, Alex suffered a 2-1 home defeat against Coventry City.

The game was in keeping with Crewe’s recent games in the league, as it was the fourth straight game to produce 2.5 goals.

David Artell’s side has a poor recent home record in League Two, winning just one of their last five home games and suffering three defeats in the process. Their recent home games in the league have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last nine league outings.

Forest Green’s recent form in League Two has been inconsistent of late, just like the hosts. Rovers have won just one of their last five games in League Two, suffering consecutive games, including last time out against Accrington Stanley.

The visitor’s recent league games have been relatively high scoring with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven outings in League Two.

Mark Cooper’s team have a poor recent away record in the third tier, having failed to win in ten games on their travels in League Two while suffering six defeats in the process.

Rovers have also conceded at least three goals in three of their last four away games in League Two, including their last two league outings.

A win for either of these sides would go a long way to securing their football league status for another season. Forebet predicts that the away side will record a victory in a high scoring encounter.
