Crewe take on the visitors Wrexham in a group stage match of English Football League Trophy. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 10th at Alexandra Stadium (Crewe).
Crewe Alexandra will attempt to climb out of League 2. The Railwaymen competed in a higher division until 2022 and, after being relegated, tried to make an immediate return, finishing seventh. They currently exhibit a similar level of performance: not quite reaching the ranks of the division's unequivocal leaders but remaining within the group of teams that intend to compete for the last promotion spot through the playoffs. They also managed to eliminate Sunderland in the League Cup, although their penalty shootout with Port Vale didn't go as planned. All four attempts in the post-match penalty shootout ended unsuccessfully!

Wrexham are not an uncommon example of a Welsh team (winners of the Welsh Cup) competing within the football structure of neighboring England. They achieved certain successes, mainly half a century ago (including a quarter-final appearance in the 1975 UEFA Cup). However, in 2020, American actors Reynolds and McElhenney purchased the club, which had fallen to the National League, the fifth division. Only at the end of the previous season did they manage to return to at least League 2 by winning there. As newcomers, they are currently mid-table, although they have a chance to establish themselves in the upper part of the league table despite a less than stellar finish to September.
In September, the clubs played their first official match in exactly 20 years and finished with a thrilling 3-3 draw in Wales. This evening's game should be quite entertaining. You can place your bet on the final result being total over 3.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
