Crewe Alexandra host Wigan Athletic in the EFL Trophy Group North 2 at Alexandra Stadium on 10 November. This is a competition where league form can be deceptive—both sides will treat it as a chance to build momentum, but the contrast in recent results tells a stark story. Crewe arrive as the clear favourites here, and for good reason.
Team form
Crewe
Crewe have shown resilience in League Two, taking 5 points from their last five games with a 1.0 goals-per-game average. They drew 1-1 at home to York on 5 September and 2-2 at home to Walsall four days earlier, bookending a goalless away draw at Port Vale. Before that, they won consecutive matches: 1-0 at home to Northampton and 1-0 away at Crawley Town. Under Lee Bell's 3-4-3 system, they've shown they can grind out results, though their attacking output remains modest. T. Booth has been solid in goal with an 8.3 rating, and L. Offord has chipped in with a goal from defence.
Wigan
Wigan's form is deeply concerning. They have not scored in their last five League One matches—a run spanning from 5 September to 3 November—and have conceded 8 goals in that period. That 0-0 draw at home to Mansfield Town on 3 November was their best result, but it masks a team struggling to create. They lost 0-3 away at Leicester on 27 October and 0-4 at home to Stockport County on 5 September. G. Caldwell's 3-4-2-1 formation has not arrested the slide. With S. Hogan their only forward in the XI and J. Whitworth managing just a 6.87 rating in goal, Wigan look vulnerable.
Head-to-head
Wigan hold the historical advantage in this fixture. They won 2-0 at home in February 2022 and again in April 2021, and also prevailed 3-2 away in October 2015 and 1-0 at home in August 2015. Crewe's sole success came in a 1-1 draw in January 2016. However, head-to-head records matter less when form diverges this sharply. Wigan's recent trajectory is downward; Crewe's is stable.
Key factors
Crewe's possession control (40% in their last outing) and shot volume (6 on target) suggest they will dominate territory. Wigan managed just 46% possession and 2 shots on goal against Mansfield, and their xG of 1.59 in that match reflects their attacking poverty. Crewe's xG of 1.89 against York shows they create more dangerous opportunities. From a fantasy perspective, Crewe's midfield—particularly C. Agius (1 assist) and J. White (7.2 rating)—should see plenty of the ball. Wigan's midfield, anchored by M. Power and C. Barrett, will be under constant pressure. The absence of goals in Wigan's recent matches is the most telling detail: this is a team that cannot finish.
Prediction
Crewe should win this match. They have the form, the shape, and the attacking intent. Wigan's goalscoring drought and defensive fragility make them vulnerable on the road, especially against a side that has shown they can grind out wins. The model favours a low-scoring outcome—Crewe's measured approach and Wigan's inability to score align with a narrow victory for the hosts.
Back Crewe to win. They are strong favourites, and Wigan's recent form suggests they will struggle to trouble T. Booth. For fantasy purposes, Crewe's midfielders offer better value than Wigan's attacking players, given the likely possession split.
