League Two is a great division to follow for regular upsets. There was a big one rolled out by Crewe in midweek when the struggling Railwaymen took down early title-challengers Notts County. That was a massive boost for Crewe. So Accrington will just be a little wary about this away game on the weekend as they have had a couple of slip-ups lately which needs to be arrested. Crewe are still going as 27/20 underdogs for this home game, leaving Accrington at 2 to pick up the three points.

AccringtonCrewe Form
Overall Crewe have had a disappointing season so far, but there have been a couple of big positives for them on home soil. In their last two games at Alexandra Stadium, they have beaten Stevenage and Notts Country, both current top seven sides. In between those two successes though they suffered a poor defeat against Yeovil who are beneath them in the league. Crewe holds a W4 D2 L2 record at home this season and just 38% games on home soil have produced over 2.5 goals, so this should be tight. Can they spring another surprise on one of the better sides in the league? Crewe haven’t drawn any of their last twelve games.
Accrington Form
Stanley are still in the top five but will just be watching themselves after recent losses against Luton and Stevenage, a couple of the sides around them at the top. Sandwiched between those two defeats thought was a superb win over Coventry. Away from home, they have posted a good W4 D1 L2 record for the season, so they are no pushovers. Each of their away victories have all been by a one-goal margin this season, three of those being a 2-1 scoreline. So it’s pretty solid stuff from them and they will be competitive as they don’t misfire too often.
Head to Head News
There have been just the four goals in total in the last four games between these two at the Alexandra Stadium. Last season Accrington won this corresponding fixture and also triumphed on home soil against Cewe. There have been eight League Two matches between these two before and Accrington holds a W4 D1 L3 record from those matches. They have lost three of their previous visits to the Alexandra Stadium though, failing to score in two of those trips.
Top Betting Tips
Although Accrington lost at Stevenage in midweek, they put up a good fight and they are some value to collect the win in this one. This is probably going to be a tight game and it could be worth running with the trend of Accrington winning by a one-goal margin away from home for a price of 3/1 at Ladbrokes.
