Recent respective form guides

Crewe Alexandra's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Railwaymen have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Q.P.R.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Rangers have hit 8 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Crewe Alex. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca Cola Championship with a return of just 22 points from their 26 games thus far. Q.P.R. see themselves just below half way in the Coca Cola Championship, showing a record of 32 points from their 26 games played so far,
