AI-Modelled Form (Last 6 Fixtures):

• Crewe Alexandra are in poor form — one win, one draw, and four losses from their last six. Their only win was a 4-0 thrashing of Shrewsbury, which stands as a complete outlier in an otherwise dismal run. They lost 2-0 to Accrington, 2-1 to Oldham, 0-3 to Walsall, and 1-2 to Bristol Rovers. A 1-1 draw at Cheltenham is their only other non-defeat. Despite the Shrewsbury blitz, Crewe look short on confidence and defensive discipline, and their home form offers little comfort.
• Milton Keynes Dons are in good form — three wins from their last four, including a 5-1 demolition of Gillingham and a 2-1 win at Swindon. They also beat Colchester 1-0. Their losses came to Salford (0-1) and Barnet (1-3 at home). The 5-1 win over Gillingham is a statement result that signals genuine attacking threat. MK Dons are scoring freely and have the profile of a side picking up momentum at the right time of the season.
• MK Dons arrive at Crewe with more goals, more wins, and more momentum. Crewe's 4-0 win over Shrewsbury is tempting to factor in, but it looks like an anomaly in a run that otherwise shows significant defensive issues and attacking inefficiency. MK Dons have scored 10 goals in their last three matches and show no signs of slowing down. On the road, with confidence high, they should be able to impose themselves on a Crewe side that has been leaking goals. An away win is the expected result, though Crewe's home form warrants a degree of caution.
