Prediction: 0-2
Morecambe
A spot in the FA Cup last 64 will be at stake when Buxton and Morecambe square off against each other at the Silverlands on Saturday afternoon. Buxton set up a meeting with Morecambe by beating York City, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry this time out. The Non League side are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in Saturday’s game, but preventing the Shrimps from scoring is easier said than done.
Morecambe, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to MK Dons. The League One side are eager to return to winning ways, and we predict that they will leave their hearts on the field. Both Gnahoua and Gibson are pushing for a start for the visiting team, with duo Duffus – McLaughlin likely to drop to the bench.
