History of the Cheltenham Town v Crewe Alexandra fixture

Cheltenham T. prepare to entertain Crewe Alexandra at Whaddon Road on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Out of their two previous meetings, the Robins have drawn one game and lost the other.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Whaddon Road was less than a year ago, in January 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League One match.
