Crewe Alex. prepare to entertain Crystal Palace at The Alexandra Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 4 of the 9 previous games, with the The Railwaymen winning just 2.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Alexandra Stadium was just last season, in April 2004, with Crystal Palace inflicting a narrow 2-3 defeat upon the The Railwaymen in a League Division One match.

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 Eagles come away with an easy victory. Away win
