History of the Crewe Alexandra v Watford fixture

Crewe are ready to welcome Watford to The Alexandra Stadium on Saturday evening, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning 27.27 of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Alexandra Stadium was within the last three years, in September 2001, the The Railwaymen carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Division One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its good news for Crewe fans, because, with them being in such great nick at home, I just cannot see any further than an emphatic home win for the The Railwaymen. Home win
