Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Newport County will look to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Mansfield Town and Stockport County when they take on Morecambe on Matchday 38. The Exiles have been struggling in front of goal of late, but the bookies still see them as favourites to win the midweek clash. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Morecambe.
The Shrimps, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Wrexham. As both sides will go for a win in Tuesday’s encounter, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. As for the visiting side, defender Max Melbourne serves a one-game ban, whilst DR Congo defender David Tutonda is pushing for his first start since the 3-0 loss to Walsall on February 20, 2024. In the first half of the season Newport defeated Morecambe 2-1.
