YEOVIL TOWN
Fifth placed Yeovil Town take on lower half club Crewe Alexandra at Huish Park on Saturday afternoon as the hosts look to cement a decent first leg when the play-off phase commences.
Yeovil Town suffered defeat away at Oldham Athletic during midweek going down 0-1 having put together an unbeaten run of five matches but they now return to familiar surroundings of their Huish Park ground as they prepare to give themselves the best chance possible in the play-off lottery. With two matches remaining – Crewe at home and Bury away, The Glovers could actually nick a runners-up spot but they would need Bournemouth to lose both of their remaining matches to have a chance.
Yeovil’s home record stands at 12-4-6 35/22 and they’ve lost just once in their last twelve as they’ve made their home ground a bit of a fortress in recent months. Yeovil have also accounted for teams such as Leyton Orient, MK Dons, Brentford and Tranmere Rovers while their only loss during this sequence was to Swindon Town who also occupy a play-off place at the moment.
CREWE ALEXANDRA
Visitors Crewe Alexandra travel south west looking to avoid a fourth successive League One defeat following straight defeats against Brentford 0-2, Doncaster Rovers 1-2 and their midweek comprehensive loss at Swindon Town 1-4 but The Railwaymen are in no danger of being involved in the relegation melee as they’re on a comfortable 58 points.
However, Crewe’s away form leaves a little to be desired as they’ve secured just two away wins in their last nine on their travels with an overall away record of 6-7-9 28/39 and they’ve beaten just one of the top six so far this season when they beat Doncaster Rovers back in November, while coming a cropper at Brentford 1-5, Tranmere Rovers 1-2, Bournemouth 1-3 and Swindon Town 1-4 along with a point at Sheffield United.
THE BETTING VERDICT:
Yeovil’s last home game of the regular season should see them give a good account of themselves following their disappointing result at Oldham Athletic and with preparation to be done for the play-offs, I’ll back The Glovers to post the points here this afternoon. Yeovil to win 2-1.
