Crewe v Stevenage Preview, Tips & Prediction

Crewe host Stevenage on Saturday afternoon at Gresty Road as two sides meet at opposite ends of the table. Read the Crewe v Stevenage match preview and predictions below.

Only 6 points separate the top 5 in League Two and only three available automatic promotion places. Crewe currently occupy the 2nd spot on 66 points, 3 points adrift of league-leaders Swindon and will be disappointed to let their lead slip after winning just one of their last 4. David Artell will want his side to improve on the consecutive 1-1 draws they have picked up against Exeter and Morecambe recently but they’ll be confident against a Stevenage side who sit rock bottom of the league.

Stevenage are having a tough season in League Two and look set for the drop. Graham Westley’s side are currently 8 points adrift of 23rd place Macclesfield with 11 games remaining and so points are needed fast if they are to stay up.Unfortunately, they haven’t shown any signs of putting up a fight having lost their last 8 matches and scoring just 4 goals in those games.

Crewe v Stevenage Prediction

The bookies have Crewe as the clear favourites for this match and rightly so. We can’t see anything other than a home win given Stevenage’s recent results and league position. Crewe still need to fight to retain an automatic promotion sport and we expect them to continue that campaign successfully on Saturday afternoon with ease.
