- Crewe are 10th with 39 points from 26, three points behind Notts County, and are still in the promotion hunt.

Crewe Alexandra have the edge in the head-to-head record, having won two of the last three meetings in League Two (D1, L0) .
Key Players
- Matthew Dennis is the main goal threat for County, scoring 10 goals in 24 League Two appearances this season.
- Emre Tezgel has been a more consistent scorer for Crewe, netting eight in 21.
Betting Insights
With both teams having attacking players and neither shy of playing in a way that will accommodate them, the Over 2.5 goals market at 1.85 looks tempting ahead of this clash of styles.
Prediction
With Notts County’s home form dipping of late, they have failed to win in their last two at Meadow Lane , and Crewe taking only a point from their last two on the road, it seems best to stay with the Draw No Bet bet here, as this should be a close game.
