Crewe v AFC Wimbledon

Crewe vs AFC Wimbledon Preview

Next up is a top seven clash in League Two between fifth placed Crewe Alexandra and seventh placed AFC Wimbledon at the Mornflake Stadium with the hosts still in the race for a possible automatic promotion spot, while AFC Wimbledon currently occupy the last of the play-off places and they know they must get a result here if they're to continue to fend off the challenges from the likes of Walsall, Crawley Town and Gillingham.

Crewe Alexandra had been progressing pretty well in the English fourth tier as The Railwaymen had been dealt just the single defeat in their preceding 11 matches from towards the end of December last year through to late February, but the hosts have since stumbled to three defeats in their subsequent four games overall.

Crewe had picked up seven wins in their previous 11 games overall but recent losses at the hands of Morecambe, Doncaster Rovers and MK Dons have resulted in the hosts dropping down to fifth place in the League Two table and three points behind third placed MK Dons and the last of the automatic promotion places.

However, Crewe know that MK Dons and Stockport County face each other on Saturday evening which gives either Crewe Alexandra or AFC Wimbledon a bit of a boost.

AFC Wimbledon remain in seventh place in the League Two standings despite last week's disappointing 2-0 defeat at home to Newport County which put an end to a promising four-match unbeaten sequence in the English fourth tier.

The Wombles had previously captured important wins against MK Dons, Notts County and Gillingham respectively along with claiming a point in a 0-0 draw at home with Grimsby Town but last week's loss might just help to re-focus Johnnie Jackson's side when they make their way up north on Saturday afternoon.

Results overall though since the turn of the year have been rather inconsistent where the visitors have been concerned as AFC Wimbledon have managed to collect just five wins from their last 15 games overall and having also slipped to six defeats within this period as well, it may be prudent to use the goals market for this upcoming clash.

Indeed, 13 of AFC Wimbledon's previous aforementioned 15 games in League Two have resulted in Under 2.5 goals and we could be in store for another low-scoring affair at the Mornflake Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Crewe Alexandra v AFC Wimbledon Verdict

Both Crewe Alexandra and AFC Wimbledon will be eager to further press home their claims for either an automatic promotion spot or a more favourable position in the play-off pack but both sides have experienced a downturn in form and results of late, so a low-scoring encounter may unfold here.

Therefore, our main bet will be Under 2.5 goals @ 1.80

Other side bets worth considering:
