Our Three Predictions For Crewe Alexandra vs Doncaster Rovers

- Second Prediction: Both Teams To Score – 18/25
- Third Prediction: Rob Street To Score Anytime – 12/5
First Prediction For Crewe Alexandra vs Doncaster Rovers – Match Result – Draw – 53/25
Having spent much of the campaign pushing for an automatic promotion spot, Crewe now find themselves in danger of missing out on the play-offs. They currently sit seventh, although they are level on points with eighth-placed Grimsby Town whilst Colchester United are just a point further back in ninth. The Railwaymen suffered a dreadful 4-1 home defeat against Fleetwood Town last Tuesday before drawing 1-1 with Salford City at the weekend.
They welcome promotion rivals Doncaster to The Mornflake Stadium, a team that have also hit a bump in the road over the past week. A 1-0 loss away at Bromley last week was followed by a 2-2 draw with Swindon Town on Saturday, leaving them four points behind Bradford City in second. They also have Notts County and Wimbledon breathing down their necks, meaning the two teams may be cautious heading into this game. This makes the perfect recipe for a stalemate.
Second Prediction For Crewe Alexandra vs Doncaster Rovers – Both Teams To Score – 18/25
Crewe have seen exactly half of their 36 League Two games have both teams score, which includes their last three outings. The two teams also played out a 1-1 draw earlier in the season. However, it is Doncaster that have been one of the better teams to watch from a neutral perspective throughout the campaign.
The South Yorkshire-based side rank fourth in the division for games where they have both scored and conceded. Overall, 58% of their fixtures have achieved this outcome, which includes six of their last 10 results. Rovers should be good for a goal, having not failed to score since losing to Walsall on Boxing Day.
Third Prediction For Crewe Alexandra vs Doncaster Rovers – Rob Street To Score Anytime – 12/5
Since joining Doncaster on loan from Lincoln City during the winter transfer window, Rob Street has become on the hottest attackers in English football. He has scored seven times in 12 outings for Grant McCann’s team, with six of those coming since the beginning of February. This is a tally which is unmatched across the EFL, with only Liverpool’s Mo Salah having scored more in the top four divisions across the same timeframe.
It took him just 20 seconds to find the back of the net against Swindon and he seems to have nailed down a starting berth in recent weeks. He is Doncaster’s biggest threat and they will need his goals if they are to secure automatic promotion this season.

Full Preview of the Game: Last Results and Head-To-Head
Both teams enter this game having lost one and drawn one of their previous two fixtures. Crewe suffered an embarrassing 4-1 home defeat against Fleetwood Town during last week’s midweek games, whilst Doncaster went down to a solitary goal against Bromley. The pair then drew at the weekend against Salford City and Swindon Town respectively.
Prior to that, the Railwaymen ended a run of six games without a win with back-to-back victories over Barrow and Chesterfield. However, those two wins are their only ones in their last 10. This has seen them slip to seventh in the table, where they find themselves in a real fight to secure a place in the play-offs.
Doncaster are targeting an automatic promotion place and their recent blip ended a run of three successive wins. Positive results against Morecambe, Accrington Stanley and Newport County kept them in the top three, but they have lost ground on second-placed Bradford City over the past week.
The two sides played out a 1-1 draw in the previous meeting this season in October, but it is Crewe who will have the happier recent memories of this fixture. They emerged victorious over two legs on penalties in last season’s play-offs before losing in the final against Crawley Town.
