Crewe Alex. prepare to entertain Ipswich Town at The Alexandra Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 3 of the 7 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 December 2004, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides
Crewe Alexandra's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While The Railwaymen have scored 10, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.
Ipswich Town's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Tractor Boys's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 7 against.
Crewe Alex. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 33 games have yielded only 23 points. Ipswich Town's 44 points from 33 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.

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 Tractor Boys come away with an easy victory. Away win
