History of the Luton Town v Crewe Alexandra fixture

Crewe Alex. pack their bags to visit Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having taken no points from 8 of the 11 contests.

The previous match played between the two at Kenilworth Road was within the last three years, in November 2005, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 1 thriller, in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Luton Town's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The The Hatters's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Crewe Alex.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The The Railwaymen's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 6 goals for and 5 against.

Luton Town are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 30 points from their 39 games thus far. Crewe Alex. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 44 points from 40 matches.
