Recent respective form guides

Crewe Alexandra's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While The Railwaymen have scored 4, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Coventry City's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Sky Blues's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.

Crewe Alex. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 47 points from their 45 games thus far. Coventry City find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 52 points from their 45 matches.
