Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Morecambe
Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 2-0
Cheltenham
Saturday’s football game at the Mazuma Stadium pits together Morecambe and Cheltenham Town, the two bottom-table sides. Morecambe aim to build on back-to-back wins over Accrington and Burton, and they must be high on spirits following the 5-0 crushing of the Brewers. The opposition back-line should have talented attacker Kieran Phillips at bay as the 22-year-old scored a brace in the last league match.
The visitors, on the other hand, are seven points clear of the relegation zone ahead of the trip to Morecambe. The Robins were beaten by Bristol Rovers in their last away game, and given Morecambe’s form at the start of 2023, we predict that the visiting side will return home empty-handed. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Lancashire. In the first half of the season Cheltenham defeated Morecambe 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
