Gresty Road on a Bank Holiday Monday in UK for a League 2 playoff semifinal first leg.
Crewe finished in 6th place in division with 71 points. Overall they had 19 wins, 14 draws and 13 losses. Home form of 11 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses. Recent form is 1 win, 4 draws and 3 losses. Doncaster ended season in 5th with same points as home side. Overall they had 21 wins, 8 draws and 17 losses. Away form of 7 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses. Recent form is remarkable with an unbeaten run of 12 games with 10 wins and 2 draws.
Team news: Home side are without Booth, Davies, Powell, Offord and Lunt. They have doubts over a host of players too with Billington, Holicek, Long and Thomas. Away side will miss Lavery, Faulkner and Close. Keeper Lo-Tutalas red card was overturned so he is avialable here.
Head-to-head statistics: 20 games – 8 wins Crewe, 4 draws and 6 wins Doncaster.
Betting selection – Crewe struggling terribly with injuries while Doncaster are flying. 10 consecutive wins put them into the playoff places and I see them winning here. Doncaster win at 13-8 or 2.62 PaddyPower.
