Crewe Alexandra Preview – Can the Railwaymen cause an upset?
Having won promotion from EFL League Two, David Artell’s Crewe Alexandra have had tough season so far, winning just three of their ten League One matches. The Alex have lost six and drawn one of the other seven. Crewe have scored only eight times, although they have shipped just nine goals at the other end, with only Charlton Athletic and Sunderland conceding fewer.
Artell’s men have been in poor form of late, losing four of their last five in all competitions. Since a 2-1 win at Doncaster Rovers last month, Crewe have lost three in a row in League One, with all three ending 1-0. However, they did beat Bolton Wanderers away from home in the Emirates FA Cup last weekend.
Crewe will be desperate for a positive result on home soil this Saturday after a run of league defeats. However, toppling the leaders could be a step too far.
Peterborough United Preview – Leaders to stay at the summit after another win
Darren Ferguson’s Peterborough United have looked the real deal in League One up until now. Despite a few tough days, the Posh have hardly put a foot wrong this term. United are top of the league, three points clear of second-place Ipswich Town.
Overall, Peterborough have won eight, drawn one and lost only two to take 25 points from a possible 33. Tuesday’s Football League Trophy defeat on penalties to rivals Cambridge United was their first loss in any competition since September. After kicking off the League One campaign with two defeats from three, Peterborough have gone on to take 22 points from 24 on offer.
