Crewe Alexandra Set to Make History with Five Consecutive League Wins in 2024
Crewe Alexandra is on a winning spree, aiming to secure their fifth league victory in a row for the first time since 1995. The team will face Salford City today at 3pm, ready to showcase their confidence and seek redemption for their controversial defeat against Salford earlier this season.
Salford City currently sits at 20th place in the Sky Bet League Two but has shown resilience with an unbeaten streak in their last three games. Interestingly, Salford has earned 18 out of their 28 points away from home this season, making them a formidable opponent for Crewe.
Karl Robinson, the experienced manager who took charge of Salford City in January, has quickly made his mark on the team. Previously managing MK Dons, Charlton, and Oxford United, Robinson believes in his team’s ability to defeat any opponent. However, he acknowledges that Salford City needs to improve their performance from their previous game if they want to secure a win against Crewe.
Crewe Alexandra and Salford City have faced each other five times in the past, with the home side emerging victorious in each encounter. A win for Crewe would level the head-to-head record at 3-3.
The match officials for this clash will be Stephen Parkinson in the middle, with Kevin Howick and Ollie Williams as his assistants. Marc Edwards will act as the fourth official. Parkinson will be making his League Two debut, having previously officiated 15 games lower down the pyramid, issuing 54 yellow cards and two red cards.
