Peter Green - September 7, 2023
Forest Green vs Crewe Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the England League Two on Saturday, 9 September 2023.
Forest Green ended a three-game winless run by sealing a 0-1 win over Sutton in their most recent league match. It was just their second win this season and such a display is much less than what many expected from the previous League One relegated side.
They will play host to an inconsistent Crewe side on Saturday. Going on, Crewe won two, drew three and lost one of their six league fixtures so far this campaign.
They have met just five times in the past. The overall wins was evenly split, with two each for both.
Their latest meeting ended in a goalless draw. Three of their total five clashes had goals over 2.5 ft.
Forest Green is going through a dreadful form at home since the beginning of this season. They lost all the three league outings at home.
On the other side, Crewe have also been struggling for a win on the road since the beginning of this campaign. In fact, they were winless in four of the last five road trips across all competitions.
Going on, Forest Green won two and drew one of their total three clashes against Crewe at this stadium. In that case, we expect a win for them on Saturday.
Three of their total five h2h meetings were high-scoring. The past three home matches of Forest Green also had goals over 2.5 ft. Thus, we expect this match to have goals in plenty.
Neither of these two teams are having a strong defensive line. Forest Green, who we expect to seal a win here, have allowed a total of 7 goals in their three matches at home. In that case, goals are likely to land from both ends.
Forest Green and Crewe both looks unimpressive when looking at their current form at respective patches. The strong h2h form of Forest Green at this stadium make things favorable for them here.
We therefore, like to start with Forest Green to win. While placing it as the main tip, we like to back the over 2.5 goals option as the second.
