Crewe Alexandra Preview – Can Crewe jump into top three?
Crewe Alexandra head into this Tuesday night clash against Leyton Orient having put together a 3-match unbeaten run in League Two which includes a 1-0 home win against Cheltenham Town along with points picked up in draws with Macclesfield Town and Scunthorpe United in 1-1 and 2-2 draws respectively.
Another three points for Crewe in this clash could see The Railwaymen jump into the top three places of the fourth tier depending upon other results, and having lost just 1 of their last 6 matches overall, David Artell’s side look seemingly well placed for further success here.
Switch to results at home and the outlook is even brighter as Crewe have won 4 of their last 5 matches at home with wins against Morecambe, Scunthorpe United, Carlisle United and Cheltenham Town amidst an overall record of 8-3-3 27/14.
Forwards Porter (8 goals) along with Anene and Powell (7 goals apiece) will be looking to fire Crewe to all three points here.
Leyton Orient Preview – Can Leyton Orient win back-to-back?
A 2-1 home win against Newport County on the weekend put an end to Leyton Orient’s dismal 6-match sequence without a win in League Two which had threatened to dump The O’s closer to the relegation zone of the fourth tier.
The much-needed win over The Exiles has lifted Leyton Orient up into the relative safety of 17th place and the visitors now hold a commanding 8-point cushion above the bottom two, so there’s no immediate fears of relegation at this stage.
Nevertheless, Leyton Orient have suffered recent back-to-back defeats on the road at Walsall and Port Vale and it’s a tough trip to have to make on Tuesday night for the London club as they look to avoid a third away defeat on the trot.
With just 2 clean sheets out of their 14 away matches to date, this could be a tough 90 minutes for Ross Embleton’s side.
