Crewe Alexandra
- Crewe Alexandra are unbeaten in four and have one defeat in their last five League Two games (W2, D2, L1).
- The Railwaymen have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five games and sit comfortably in tenth spot on 47 points from 31 games.
- Bell’s men have kept it tight and solid recently with a 1-0 home win over struggling Colchester United followed by a 1-0 victory at lowly Crawley Town.
- Their possession-based approach has seen them dominate the ball and create chances on the wings, where Reece Hutchinson has been a creative spark, providing three assists in their last five.
Fleetwood Town
- Fleetwood Town have four defeats in their last five League Two matches and have suffered consecutive 1-2 losses in their last two fixtures.
- Matt Lawlor took charge as interim boss of Fleetwood Town in late January 2026 and has yet to have the opportunity to stamp his authority on the club following Pete Wild’s departure.
- Fleetwood will then try to hurt Crewe on the counterattack and from set pieces with Will Davies leading the line up front.
- Davies has hit six goals in 26 League Two appearances this season and scored two in his last five, but the team around him have lacked confidence and ability of late.
- Fleetwood Town are 15th in the table on 37 points from 29 matches and are in the lower mid-table zone.
- They have lost their last two games 1-2 at home to Notts County and Bromley and really need Lawlor to get a result to solidify his position.
Head-to-Head
We have seen this rivalry twice in League Two already this term and each side has one win apiece .
Key Players
- Will Davies
- Davies has hit six goals in 26 League Two appearances this season and scored two in his last five, but the team around him have lacked confidence and ability of late.
- Emre Tezgel
- Emre Tezgel is Crewe’s main danger man with eight goals in 21 appearances for the Railwaymen in League Two this campaign and his pace and finishing ability could make all the difference on the night.
Betting Insights
- Crewe are favourites for this one at 1.9, while Fleetwood Town are the outsiders at 3.9 ahead of their visit to Mornflake Stadium on Tuesday.
- Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals, which has been a feature of both sides’ recent matches, is priced up at 2.0 and 1.85 respectively, which seems too big.
- Fleetwood have won just four of their 14 road games in League Two this year, so that’s another reason to back the home side.
- Bell’s side has conceded an average of 1.27 goals per game at Mornflake Stadium while Town have shipped 1.14 on average away from Highbury, so it could get stretched at both ends.
Prediction
- The game looks set to be a chess match between Bell’s ball-dominant, wide-based attack and Lawlor’s defensive pragmatism.
- Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals looks an appealing play given the recent trends and the prices on offer.
