Sky Bet League 1 - Weekend Betting Preview

Notts County v Crewe Alexandra

The home side have an impressive historical record in this encounter, winning 20 of the 39 games between the two sides, including both meetings last season and a 0-3 success at the Alexandra Stadium back in September. However, the home side are available at odds-against at 6/5 to win this, having lost their form badly in recent weeks, just as Crewe – 11/5 shots here, with the draw on offer at 12/5 - have found their form. Garry Thompson, with seven League goals to his name this season, is County’s number one hitman and 9/2 favourite to get the first goal of the game. Nicky Ajose, on loan from Leeds, has been Crewe’s most potent threat in recent weeks and given his four-from-six strike-rate, could be worth a play at 12/5 to net during the 90 minutes.

Top tip: Nicky Ajose to score at 12/5.
