Crewe will be looking to make back-to-back victories in League Two when they welcome Mansfield to Gresty Road for their Matchday 11 tie on Saturday evening.
Both sides have impressive this season and they very much among the contenders for the playoff places. Mansfield Town have claimed 16 points from their nine matches and currently sit seventh with just one point and one place outside the playoff places, while Crewe sit ninth on 15 points, two points outside the top six.
A win for either sides on Saturday could leave them in the top six places, something both sides will be hoping to accomplish this weekend. Both claimed victories in their previous League Two games, with Crewe claiming a 1-0 win over Crawley, ending their four-match winless run in the division and they will be looking to build on it as they hope to climb over their Saturday visitors.
Mansfield meanwhile claimed a 2-0 away win over Gillingham, extending their unbeaten run in the league to three matches. However, they suffered a 2-0 away defeat to Grimsby in the EFL Trophy last Tuesday and they will be keen to bounce back on Saturday.
