Crewe vs NorthamptonPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Alexandra Stadium welcomes two sides whose openers were tight affairs. Crewe won 1-0 on their travels, the only goal of their afternoon, while Northampton were held 0-0 at home without finding the net. That makes one goal across the pair of opening fixtures, well short of the 2.42 goals a game produced in League Two so far. Crewe arrive with three points and eighth place, Northampton with a single point and thirteenth. It is a first home outing for the hosts and a first away day for the visitors. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
