Swindon are on a slide having lost their last three league outings now. They have been an unpredictable side throughout the season and now that looks to be catching up with them a bit. They can still stay in touch with the top seven though with three points in this one. Crewe breathed a sigh of relief last weekend in picking up three points to put a bit of distance between themselves and the relegation zone.

Crewe AlexandraSwindon Form
Three defeats on the bounce has really knocked the wind out of Swindon’s sails and they have shipped seven goals in that sequence as well. There is nothing wrong whatsoever with the output of goals from Swindon this season as they have scored at least two in five of their last six games, their defence is just a little bit unreliable. They hold a W10 D2 L9 record for the season and at home, they have gone W1 D1 L3 in their five at the County Ground. They are only W3 D2 L6 there all season as their successes have been based on their away form. After back to back home losses they are rocking a bit now. Still, they are facing a Crewe side who have had a difficult season and both teams to score in this one looks great value.
Crewe Alexandra Form
The Railwaymen have lost six of their last eight league games (W2) and their away form makes for some pretty sorry reading this season. It is W2 L8. They have only produced the seven goals in their ten away games this season but are conceding at an average of 1.7 goals per away game, so out of the gate, they are looking vulnerable. They have taken two clean sheets on their travels and both of them coincided with an away win. 50% of Crewe’s away games this season have produced just the single goal in them. Currently, only Stevenage are in worse form than Crewe have been over the last eight league games and they have the joint second-worst away record and the fourth worst defence in the entire league.
Head to Head News
Swindon took back to back wins over Crewe in the 2015/16 League One season, which was the last time that they were together. The Robins scored seven goals across those two games as well. They are undefeated in their last seven games against the Railwaymen in all competitions. Five of the last eight meetings have seen both teams to score in them.
