Crewe vs Leeds U21: Top Free Betting Tips

Crewe lost their first match with a devastating result and this is their chance to remain in the fight for qualification. Here are our predictions for this game.

Over 2.5 Goals

The first game of Crewe in the EFL Trophy ended in a 4:1 defeat to Bolton. The defeat was expected but not with conceding this many goals. The fact is that the team does have some problems in attack but they can also score goals and we expect them to against a youth team, albeit one of the current best. Leeds United U21 play in Premier League 2, Division 2, and are the current top team there with 20 goals in 5 games. We think that this will be a goal-packed fixture.

Both Teams To Score – Yes

Crewe are the home team and they should be able to win this game and potentially score a few goals but Leeds' youth formation is quite strong and has been over the past few years. They will have their chances and we have often seen surprising wins from youth teams in the EFL Trophy. Leeds have been doing some impressive things in their league and we will be shocked not to see a goal.

Crewe To Win

For some reason, the odds are not available for this fixture yet but we expect something around 4/5 (1.80) to 1/1 (2.00) for Crewe as a favorite. They are a professional side while Leeds United is a youth formation, albeit a good one. This round of the EFL comes at the start of an international break, so Crewe can focus all their efforts in this game and we expect them to win it without a problem.
