Crewe Alexandra Preview – Can Crewe tighten up?
Mixed results in recent weeks have seen Crewe Alexandra pick up wins against Doncaster Rovers, Northampton Town and MK Dons but the hosts have also suffered losses to Burton Albion, Hull City and Oxford United – the latter being a heavy 6-0 thrashing at home on Saturday.
Crewe now prepare for the visit of high-flying Portsmouth on Tuesday night but although The Railwaymen are at home once again, there’s no guarantees of a home win here as the hosts have lost their last three matches on the trot.
Defeats in their own backyard to Burton Albion, Hull City and Oxford United have also resulted in Crewe conceding a total of 11 goals and scoring just 1 in reply in the process, so confidence may well be fragile for David Artell’s side.
Portsmouth Preview – Can Portsmouth bounce back?
Portsmouth’s impressive four-match winning streak in League One was brought to a halt on the weekend as the south coast club side lost 2-1 at home to Burton Albion but recent wins against Ipswich Town, Shrewsbury Town, Rochdale and Wigan Athletic should still give Danny Cowley’s side plenty of confidence here.
Pompey also possess a fairly decent looking 11-2-5 29/19 record away from home this season which includes winning their last two matches on the trot on the road while the bigger picture shows it’s seven wins out of their last 11 on the road.
In addition, Portsmouth are unbeaten in their last three visits to Crewe and the visitors should at least avoid defeat here, if not pick up all three points.
