Crewe Alex. are ready to welcome Luton Town to The Alexandra Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 6 of the previous 8 games.

The previous match played between the two at The Alexandra Stadium was within the last three years, in October 2002, with Luton Town inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the The Railwaymen in a League Division Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the The Railwaymen at home recently, but despite this poor sequence of home displays, I can see the Alex just edging this one. Home win
