Our prediction for this League 1 match:
After sharing the spoils with Charlton on Tuesday, Forest Green will be aiming to return to winning ways when they take on Morecambe in the League One round 10. The Green Army have been showing signs of improvement of late, and it is no wonder the bookies see them as favourites to pick up all three points from Saturday’s clash. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Udoka Godwin-Malife, Harry Boyes, and Matt Stevens remain in the recovery room. Summer signing Connor Wickham should keep his place in the starting XI.
The Shrimps, on the other hand, have yet to record a win in the new League One season, and given their display in a 3-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Forest Green. All Courtney Duffus, Ashley Hunter, and Max Melbourne have been struggling with injuries of late, speaking of the away side.
Highlighted Player (Ebou Adams):
After spending his youth career at Orpington and Dartford, Ebou Adams made his debut for the Dartford senior team on April 26, 2014, in a 3-1 loss to Nuneaton Town. Born in Greenwich, England on January 15, 1996, Ebou Adams is a midfielder who played for the likes of Walton Casuals (loan), Norwich City, Braintree Town (loan), Shrewsbury Town (loan), Leyton Orient (loan), and Ebbsfleet Town as well before joining Forest Green Rovers.
He signed a two-year deal with the Green Army on June 18, 2019, making his debut with the club on August 10, 2019, in a 1-1 draw with Walsall. The footballer of Gambian descent debuted for the Gambia national team against Morocco B in November 2017.
His primary position is central midfield, but he is often used as a defensive midfielder. Ebou Adams has dual citizenship (England/Gambia), and he wears the number 14 shirt at Forest Green.
Highlighted Team (Morecambe):
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.
Morecambe wear red shirts and red shorts when playing in front of home fans, while yellow is the dominant colour of their away kit. Fellow Lancashire-based club Accrington Stanley are seen as the club’s fiercest rivals. The Shrimps have rivalries with the likes of Lancaster City, Fleetwood Town, Barrow, Kendal Town, and Southport as well.
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.
