Prediction: 1-1
Crawley
Morecambe play host to Crawley Town at their Mazuma Stadium in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The Shrimps aim to build on a 3-2 win over Crewe Alexandra and a win over Crawley could see them climb to the playoffs berth. Defender Max Melbourne suffered an injury in the last league match, with Kayden Harrack likely to sneak into the starting XI.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, extended their winning run to three games at Accrington, with the team beating Crawley Town on the road. Liam Kelly suffered an injury in the triumph over the Accy Stanley, with Ronan Darcy likely to replace him in the starting XI. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as both Crawley Town and Morecambe will go for a victory in the midweek clash. In the first half of the season Morecambe defeated Crawley 2-1.
