Match description
The match favorites are the visitors — Cambridge United — due to their higher league position (3rd vs 10th for Crewe) and markedly better recent form: Cambridge average 1.6 points per game over the last 5 matches versus Crewe’s 0.6. Cambridge’s defence is the key advantage: the visitors concede just 0.82 goals on the road and have kept a clean sheet in 41% of away fixtures, while Crewe concede 1.27 goals at home and have let in 10 goals in their last 5 matches. Crewe do possess offensive merits at home — scoring 1.55 goals per home game, registering 3.86 shots on target and posting a higher home xG (1.45) than Cambridge’s away xG (1.22), so they can create chances. At the same time Cambridge restrict opponents to an average of 1.02 xG on the road versus 1.58 xG against Crewe at home, and the visitors have scored 9 goals in their last 5 matches compared to the hosts’ 4, therefore I forecast a Cambridge win; proposed probability distribution: 25% home, 25% draw, 50% away.
