Swindon Town Team News
Swindon Town is on the verge to finish in the top 7 of League Two (4th tier) and participating in the playoffs again. Last season they were sixth but later lose in the playoffs semifinal against Port Vale. This season they are once again in 6th place with 31 points after 18 rounds.
A few people can predict how good this season will going to be for Swindon. They lost the manager before the season started and a couple of key players from the last season but they are again a very good team with Scott Lindsey as a manager.
Swindon is five games without a defeat in the league and from the start of August, they suffered only two defeats. They are a very good home side with 18 points won at home (only three teams won more points at home than Swindon) and they suffered only one defeat at their stadium. They also failed to score in only one home game and it was in the first home game of the season.
The potential problem for Swindon in the next couple of weeks can be the absence of their top scorer, Jonathan Williams. The midfielder is in Qatar with Walesโs national team. He scored six goals and has one assist. Swindon Town has a win and a draw without him this season.
Swindon scored 24 goals this season and failed to score in only four games. They conceded 18 goals and kept six clean sheets.
Crewe Alexandra Team News
The crew had a solid start to the season and was in the top 10 until the end of September but in the last two months, they won only once from eight games and slipped to 16th place with 22 points.
Crewe is in the run of three consecutive wins but two of them are in the cup games. They beat Colchester United at home in the last round (the worst team in the league) 1-0.
Only three teams are in worst form than Crewe in the last two months and Crewe is struggling with attack recently. Their top scorer Courtney Baker-Richardson (who has 7 goals) is injured and will be out for a long time. Baker-Richardson scores 7 of 16 Creweโs goals this season.
In the last eight games, Crewe scores only five goals and their attack is one of the worst in the league with 16 goals scored. Only four teams score fewer goals. They failed to score in 5 of 8 away games this season and they are without a win away from home since 30th July when the opening round was played.
Another problem for Crewe is that their manager Alex Morris decides to leave the managerial role because of personal problems and his assistant Lee Bell became an interim manager.
H2H
The last time they played against each other was in the FA Cup a year ago. Swindon beat Crewe away from home 0-3. In the league, they meet in the 2020/21 season at the level above and both teams won at home, Crewe with 4-2 and Swindon 2-1.
Their last five consecutive games ended with over 2.5 goals, also 10 of the last 11 ended with over 2.5 goals.
Team News and Injuries
Swindon Town: Jonathan Williams is in the World Cup and Rushian Hepburn-Murphy is injured. Angus MacDonald is questionable.
Crewe Alexandra: Courtney Baker-Richardson is injured.
Swindon Town vs. Crewe Alexandra Prediction
In our opinion, Swindon is a favourite here for a win and all three points. They are in better form and they are very good at their stadium. On the other hand, Crewe is struggling with a lot of problems and results recently. Their manager leaves the team, their top scorer is injured, and they are terrible away from home.
The H2H suggest that we can expect a lot of goals here and thatโs another bet that you can follow.
