Crewe must collect all three points against a disinterested Cheltenham on Thursday if they are to keep their playoff ambitions alive in League Two.
Crewe's hopes of reaching the playoff stage took a hit after they succumbed to a 2-0 defeat on the road to table-toppers Bradford over the weekend, but their top-seven finish are not entirely over, with only four points separating them from seventh-placed Grimsby.
Although they put up a brave fight after Timothee Dieng’s sending off, Cheltenham ultimately came away empty-handed following a late 2-0 defeat to promotion-chasing Doncaster on home soil, which keeps them stuck in the lower reaches of the standings without any real threat of the drop.
Crewe vs Cheltenham Betting Tips : CREWE TO WIN
At this point, Crewe has little room for error, as they must come out on top in Thursday’s showdown or see their playoff ambitions come to an end, and we’re backing them to rise to the occasion and get the job done. As the season nears its conclusion with five games left and a four-point deficit to make up for a playoff spot, the Railwaymen are fully aware they need to cut out errors during this final push, though their recent run has been poor with just one win in their last seven league fixtures, but that solitary victory came in their latest home game where they routinely beat Grimsby 2-0. Still, Crewe should be hopeful of claiming back-to-back home wins, as their opponents Cheltenham have been the coldest team in England’s fourth tier of late, having extended both their losing streak and goal drought to four straight matches following a 2-0 defeat to Doncaster in Saturday’s action. With 15 points still up for grabs, the Robins need just a single point to mathematically guarantee survival, but we believe that won’t happen on this trip, as Crewe is ready to leave everything on the pitch in pursuit of a crucial three-point haul to keep their playoff dreams alive.

Crewe team news
Having failed to convert a key penalty and then being taken off at the start of the second half for unknown reasons, Ryan Cooney is now questionable for Thursday’s encounter.
An injury to Jack Lankester in the dying moments of the weekend fixture could hand Kane Hemmings a chance to break into the starting lineup for the Cheltenham game.

Cheltenham team news
Harry Pell will miss the rest of the season with a serious knee injury, and although Darragh Power and Luke Young are progressing in their recoveries, the Crewe match comes too soon for both of them.
French defensive midfielder Timothee Dieng saw red in his team’s 2-0 defeat to Doncaster, and as a result, he will serve a one-match suspension.
