Will they be able to recover against the struggling Crewe? The Railwaymen have lost each of their last three League games and they are still hovering perilously close to the relegation Zone in League Two.

CreweNotts County Form
County have produced some fine home form this season with a W 9 D4 L2 record. So all of that looks good until you see that the two defeats in that sequence have been in their last two home fixtures. They were beaten 2-1 by both Exeter and Crawley and so they are just trying to rediscover that winning home form again. That drop in home form equates to them having won just one of their last five at Meadow Lane. They have scored well on home soil with an average of almost 1.9 goals per game while their defence, has by and large (again not so much lately) been solid conceding under a goal per game on average at home. Only once this season have they failed to net on home soil and overall this season home and away, 71% of their goals have been in the second half of matches.
Crewe Form
The Railwaymen have slumped to three straight league defeats having fallen to a 4-3 loss out at Swindon last weekend. They have only taken the three wins on the road this season and they have lost all of their other eleven road games. So it’s been a rough ride for them. They have conceded in each of their last three away games and interestingly, on each of the three occasions that they did take an away clean sheet, they won. So basically, if they concede they lose away from home and they are unlikely to hold County at bay. The Railwaymen have scored only the 13 league goals away from home this term and seven of their eleven away defeats have been by a one-goal margin only. No team has managed to claim fewer away points than the nine they have collected this season in League Two and only three sides currently have conceded more.
Head to Head News
Crewe sprang a surprise by taking a 2-0 home win over the Magpies earlier in the season and they are unbeaten in three now against them. Notts County are unbeaten though in their last six home games against Crewe in all competitions, winning three and drawing three. Five of the last seven meetings have managed to get above 2.5 goals.
