This game at Gresty Road is a meeting of two teams near the top of League Two, but they come into it in very different moods. Crewe Alexandra were just thrashed at home 1-5 in their latest league match, while Barnet just won at home 3-1 and are unbeaten in their last two games. Crewe Alexandra are still a team that has been solid overall this season, scoring 16 and conceding 16 in 13 games, but in their last two league games the defence has clearly fallen apart, losing 0-2 and then 1-5. Barnet are the most consistent goalscoring team in the top group, scoring 27 in 12 games and winning 7 matches, but their defence is not exactly watertight when they play away. The pattern of play over the last 10 games suggests Barnet will have more possession and create more chances, but Crewe Alexandra are better at home than their recent form figures suggest, and this game is likely to be a trade of punches where both sides have their own spells of advantage. What will decide it is who handles the other side's pressure better, and that is where Crewe Alexandra still have a way to stay in this game.
