Recent respective form guides

Crewe Alexandra's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Railwaymen have scored 8, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Stockport Co.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. These low-scoring games have seen just 5 goals scored and conceded.

Crewe Alex. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 16 games have yielded only 9 points. Stockport Co.'s 25 points from 16 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th 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 Hatters come away with an easy victory. Away win
