Our prediction for this League 1 match:
The Mazuma Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Morecambe and Peterborough, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Morecambe aim to escape the relegation zone, but their display in a 3-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday is not giving fans a reason for optimism. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but Mayor should replace Mellon in the starting XI.
Meanwhile, the Posh aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive, and we do not believe that they will have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Even though Oliver Norburn and Harvey Cartwright should miss out with injuries, we are tempted to put our money on the visitors, who are desperate to stay in the playoffs race. Earlier this season Peterborough recorded a routine 3-0 win over Morecambe in front of home fans.

Founded in 1934, Peterborough United are a professional club that competes in the League One. The Posh play their home games at London Road Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 15,314. Peterborough’s home colour is blue, whilst the colour of their away kit is blue. The Posh have the third kit as well where yellow and black are the dominant colours.
Peterborough United’s biggest success came in the 1964/1965 when the club booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals. Chelsea, though, proved to be a big catch for the Posh, beating them 5-1 in London. It has to be noted that Peterborough United made it to the Football League Cup semis in the 1965/1966 season, with the team losing to WBA in the two-legged tie.
