Recent respective form guides

Crewe Alexandra's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Railwaymen have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Bury however, is much more impressive, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The The Shakers's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 6 goals for and 4 against.

Crewe Alex.'s 12 points from 9 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Bury see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 12 points from their 9 games played so far,

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the The Railwaymen at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Shakers come away with an easy victory. Away win
