Crewe Alexandra and Doncaster Rovers are set to face off in the League Two play-off semi-final first leg at Gresty Road on Monday, May 6th, 2024.
The Railwaymen, led by manager Lee Bell, are looking to capitalize on their home advantage against the Rovers, who have been in impressive form lately.
Current Form, Team News, Key Players
Crewe Alexandra's recent form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last nine league games.
Doncaster Rovers, on the other hand, have been unbeaten in their last 12 League Two games, including a record-breaking 10 consecutive victories.
Their manager, Grant McCann, is confident about their chances, drawing on his past experiences of play-off success and failure. "When I think back to winning promotion as a player, we went in really positively," McCann shared with BBC Radio Sheffield. "We weren't worried about the next leg or if we win this, we get to Wembley. We were focused on that game."
Scoreline Prediction
Given the contrasting forms of the two teams, it's difficult to predict a clear winner.
However, considering Doncaster's impressive run and their ability to adapt to different situations,
they might have the edge in this encounter. A scoreline of 2-1 in favour of Doncaster Rovers seems plausible, but Crewe Alexandra's home advantage could still make them a force to be reckoned with.
