The match between Crewe vs Wigan for the England EFL Trophy competition is scheduled to be played on 05 October, 2021. It will take place at the Mornflake Stadium, in Crewe, Cheshire.
Crewe host this match not in a fine form compared to their opponents and have had a rough time to win even in their home ground. They have not won in 10 of the last 11 Football League Trophy home games. Crewe Alexandra are hoping to avoid a fifth consecutive game without a victory in all competitions as they come to this encounter.
Crewe Alexandra enter this fixture coming off the back of 2-2 League One draw game vs Cambridge United. Oliver Finney gave Crewe the early lead in the 10th minute before the 26th second goal from Scott Robertson. However Will Jääskeläinen had an own goal to make the game 2-1 before Adam May equalized in the 94th for Cambridge United to settle for a point.

On the other hand, Wigan come to this match on a fine form and have been superior to any other ex-Premier League team. Wigan have been also in a good away performance in the previous encounters. They have lost 3 games in the last 10 games. In conclusion they won 70% of the games in their last 10 games.
Wigan come into this match following on from a 0-2 League One win vs Gillingham in their previous match. Max Power got the net in the 64th minute before the 82nd Will Keane goal summed it all. It’s good to state that Wigan have scored in 7 of the last 8 away games.
