My first Max Play is from an EFL Trophy matchup between two rivals that play in the English League One. Crewe Alexandra doesn't have much offensive punch (22 goals in 24 games), the third-fewest netted in the 24-team league. They have home-field where the defense plays very well, on a 4-1 run at home allowing three goals. Crewe Alexandra has played four straight home games that have gone UNDER 2.5 goals. Also, five of their last seven EFL Trophy battles have gone UNDER 2.5. Rotherham United is the No. 1 defensive team in League One (17 goals surrendered in 24 matches). They bring that defense with them on the road with five straight road games sailing UNDER 2.5 goals, as well as 11 of 13 away contests. Rotherham United forward Mickel Miller will miss this game with a hamstring injury. These teams played a 1-1 game in September and this looks like another one with more defense than offense. Play Crewe Alexandra/Rotherham United UNDER the total - Max Play.
