Recent respective form guides

Crewe Alexandra's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Railwaymen have scored 8, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Rotherham U.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The The Millers's have scored 10 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 11.

Crewe Alex. see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 12 points from their 10 games played so far, Rotherham U. are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 20 points from 10 games.
