History of the Crewe Alexandra v Nottingham Forest fixture

Crewe Alex. prepare to entertain Nottingham Forest at The Alexandra Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, beating their opponents 2 times from 8 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Alexandra Stadium was just last season, in December 2006, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-4 winners in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Crewe Alexandra have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. The The Railwaymen's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Nottm. Forest's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Forest have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Crewe Alex. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 36 points from 35 matches. Nottm. Forest are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 56 points from 33 games.

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 Forest come away with an easy victory. Away win
