Harrogate vs Crewe Alexandra

Harrogate will be aiming to maintain their recent good form when they host Crewe Alexandra in a Monday night English League Two fixture.

The hosts are looking sharp at the moment and have done some good work on home soil lately. They have enough quality to avoid defeat against the visitors, who have been unconvincing in recent weeks.

Harrogate News

Harrogate come into this clash off the back of a 1-0 home victory over League One side Huddersfield Town in the EFL Trophy. Ellis Taylor struck the only goal early in the first half, and they were able to hold on for the win.

That result is part of a recent good run for Harrogate, who have won four of their last five matches across all competitions. Simon Weaver’s team claimed a 1-0 victory at third-placed Gillingham in their previous League Two fixture.

Harrogate are showing some attacking quality lately and have scored first in their last five matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last eight League Two matches.

Crewe Alexandra News

Crewe Alexandra are also coming off a win as they earned a 2-1 home victory over Notts County in their previous League Two fixture. Mickey Demetriou’s early effort was cancelled out by the visitors before Josh March struck the winner deep into injury time.

That was a vital result for Crewe Alexandra, who had been on a three-match winless run in the league. However, Lee Bell’s team remain unconvincing on their travels and have failed to earn a victory in four of their last five away matches across all competitions.

One of the issues for Crewe Alexandra is a lack of discipline at the back, which has seen them fail to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they often show some quality going forward and have scored in seven fixtures on this run.

Head to Head

Crewe Alexandra have never lost in this fixture, with four wins and three draws in seven previous matches. Both teams battled to a 1-1 scoreline in their last meeting back in February.

Verdict

Harrogate Town v Crewe

Harrogate are in good form at the moment, having won four of their last five matches. With Crewe looking unconvincing on their recent travels, the hosts can do enough to earn a win or draw on Monday.

Both teams have been unconvincing at the back lately and are expected to score here. Having struck first in their last five matches across all competitions, Harrogate could be backed to grab the opening goal.
