Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Shrewsbury play host to Morecambe at their Greenhous Meadow in the League One round 34. The Shrews failed to win the previous seven league fixtures, and, no doubt, they are eager to get back on course as soon as possible. Since Shrewsbury failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Plymouth, head coach Steve Cotterill should opt to make changes to the starting XI, with all Flanagan, Janneh, and Bloxham pushing for a start.
Morecambe, on the other hand, are desperate to escape the relegation zone. The Shrimps, though, have been struggling on the travels this season, and they are unlikely to grab something from Saturday’s match. Experienced forward Jonathan Obika could be handed a rare start after finding the net as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Gillingham. In the first half of the season the Shrimps defeated the Shrews 2-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Player (Aaron Pierre):
Born on February 17, 1993 in Southall, England Aaron Pierre is a professional footballer who plays for Shrewsbury Town in the League One as a defender. Pierre started his youth career at Fulham at the age of 15 and in 2011 he moved to Brentford youth school.
Speaking of his senior career, the 185-cm-tall defender played for the likes of Brentford, Cambridge United, Wycombe Wanderers and Northampton Town before signing a deal with Shrewsbury Town in the summer of 2019. Aaron Pierre signed for the League One side for an undisclosed fee, penning a three-year deal. Despite being born in England, the Shrewsbury Town footballer represents Granada on the international stage.
He received his first call-up for the Grenada national team in September, 2015, but he has yet to find the net with the Spice Boys. The Grenada international’s main position is centre-back, whereas his preferred foot is left.

Based in Lancashire, England, Morecambe are a professional club that compete in the League 2. The Shrimps were founded in 1920, and they welcome their home rivals at Globe Arena. The venue, which was opened in August, 2010, can hold up to 6,476 people.

Fellow Lancashire-based club Accrington Stanley are seen as the club’s fiercest rivals.

In 1974 Morecambe won the FA Trophy as they defeated Dartford 2-1 in the title game, and 14 years later they lifted the Conference League Cup trophy. The Shrimps secured promotion into the Football League with a 2-1 win over Exeter City in the 2007 play-offs final.
