1st Prediction For Cheltenham Town vs Crewe Alexandra: Full-time result: draw 43/20
The Boxing Day clash sees a team in slightly better form, but slightly lower down the table in Cheltenham Town, take on a team slightly higher in the table, but in slightly worse form in Crewe Alexandra. Therefore, it seems likely that the raw quality of Crewe will balance out with the momentum of Cheltenham so that the game ends in a draw. The Robins are unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions picking up two wins, one of which was against League One Cambridge United, and three draws. The Railwaymen have won once, drawn three times and lost once in their last five games but they currently have eight points more than their hosts on Thursday. Additionally, Crewe have the third-most league draws of any side in the fourth tier this season.
2nd Prediction For Cheltenham Town vs Crewe Alexandra: Cheltenham Town to lead at half-time, full-time result: draw 13/1
It could be very fruitful to predict the home side to lead at half-time, but the away team to make a second-half comeback and secure a draw, especially given Crewe’s record when coming from behind. In their last five games, of which they only lost one, the Railwaymen have not led at half-time once and they produced a good second-half performance to secure a one-one draw away at Carlisle at the end of November. Lee Bell’s side have shown good character in general this season as they have picked up nine points from losing positions, the second-most of any team in League Two. As well as this, Cheltenham have dropped points from winning positions in two of their last five games; most recently against Doncaster Rovers with whom they drew two-two. Michael Flynn’s men have taken the lead in 14 games this season but dropped points in seven of those games, the joint most of any team in the fourth tier.
3rd Prediction For Cheltenham Town vs Crewe Alexandra: George Miller to score at any time 49/20
The form attacker coming into the game is Cheltenham striker George Miller and predicting him to score would be wise given his recent form. The 26-year-old struggled to break into the team after joining the Robins from Doncaster Rovers this summer. But, he has become a regular fixture in recent weeks and the former Middlesbrough man is beginning to repay the faith that his manager has shown in him. Miller has scored twice in his last two games and three times in four appearances in December, making him key to Cheltenham’s recent good run. Bar Mickey Demetriou, the Crewe defence is quite youthful and Miller will be hoping to exploit that come Boxing Day.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Crewe Alexandra come into the game sitting in fourth place in the table and just one point off the automatic promotion places after an indifferent run of form over the course of December. Lee Bell will have his sights set on a win against Cheltenham and a long-term push for automatic promotion back to League One. Cheltenham Town sit in 14th place ahead of the Boxing Day clash and Michael Flynn will be looking for his side to continue their momentum and pull off a small upset by beating a team who sit 10 positions higher than them.
