Crewe are on a four-match losing streak at the moment and have lost five of their last six played. They are right in that tight relegation scrap in League two and are starting to feel more and more pressure now. They could look to Yeovil for inspiration actually as the Glovers have increased their chances of survival after winning their last two games back to back. Can they keep their positive streak going by winning three games on the bounce for the first time this season?

YeovilCrewe Form
The Railwaymen are going to be sweating it at the moment after a four-match losing streak has left them only two points above the drop zone. It’s rough and this could be quite the telling fixture for them. If they lose this one then Yeovil, who are only three places above them, would move a massive eight points clear and that leaves Crewe in great peril. Their home form reads W6 D2 L7 this season and they are W2 L5 in their last seven at Alexandra Stadium. The amount of goals that they have been conceding lately is alarming. They have shipped eleven in their last three alone, albeit against stronger sides in the division. Each clean sheet that they have taken this season at home has coincided with them winning games and they have only the two clean sheets therefore in their last seven home games, conceding at least two goals in each of their last five home defeats.
Yeovil Form
The Glovers have produced a bit of form with back to back clean sheet home wins over Grimsby and Cambridge. So they will fancy their chances out at the struggling Crewe for sure. Yeovil are W1 D2 L1 in their last four road games and have only managed the two away wins all season in League Two. While their defence has quite frankly been a shocking mess on their travels, they have scored 1.3 goals per away game on average and that is something which could damage Crewe. The Gloves are on an eight-match scoring streak home and away in the division and they haven’t shipped in their last two. This is probably a great time for them to go to the Alexandra Stadium and shoot for maximum points. Crewe are only one of three sides who have conceded more goals in the league this season than Yeovil have and no-one has collected fewer away points than the nine the Glovers have managed on their travels.Even with that, they still have far more appeal than Crewe.
Head to Head News
The Glovers were 2-0 winners at home over Crewe earlier in the season and that is a three-match winning streak that they are on against the Railwaymen now. That’s all three previous League Two meetings that Yeovil have won over Crewe and each of them was to nil as well.
Crewe v Yeovil – Betting Odds and Predictions
Overall in the head to head Yeovil are 8-4 up with one drawn match. Expect a low scoring game though as seven of the last eight clashes have produced less than three goals in them.
Top Betting Tip Crewe v Yeovil
Yeovil have a bit of momentum going against the Railwaymen now and it’s worth backing them to keep it going in this one. Crewe have really started to collapse again lately and this is a huge, huge opportunity for Yeovil to get themselves more survival points in the bag. Away win and under 2.5 goals looks good.
