Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Crewe will be looking to build on their recent 2-1 victory over Bromley as they welcome Morecambe to Gresty Road in League Two round 5. The Railwaymen have shown their potential early in the season, with their win over Bromley highlighting their ability to grind out results. Their solid team performance and home advantage make them favorites to win Saturday's encounter.
On the other hand, Morecambe have struggled to find their footing this season, suffering defeats in each of their four league games so far. The Shrimps will be desperate to turn their fortunes around, but facing an in-form Crewe side on the road is a tough challenge. Both teams are free of injury concerns, ensuring a full-strength battle. Given Crewe’s current form and Morecambe’s ongoing struggles, it’s hard to look past a home win in this encounter. Expect the Railwaymen to capitalize on Morecambe’s shaky defence and pick up all three points from the match.
Highlighted Team (Crewe):
Crewe Aleandra are a professional football club that welcome their rivals at Gresty Road. The stadium was built in 1906, and it can hold up to 10,153 spectators. Founded back in 1877, Crewe Alexandra play their home games in red shirts and white shorts, while yellow is the dominant colour of their away kit.
The Railwaymen played their first game against North Staffs in 1877, with the two teams sharing the spoils (1-1) at Alexandra Recreation Ground. Nowadays, Crewe compete in the League 2 where they take on their main rivals Port Vale. In 2014 a match between the two sides resulted in violence and arrests. The likes of Wrexham, Macclesfield Town, Shrewsbury Town, and Stoke City are considered the club’s rivals as well.
In 2013 Crewe Alexandra clinched the Football League Trophy as they defeated Southend United 2-0 in the title game at Wembley Stadium. Goals from Max Clayton and Luke Murphy helped the Railwaymen clinch their first and only Football League Trophy.
