Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Morecambe and Fleetwood go head to head at the Mazuma Stadium in what is expected to be a close League One encounter. Morecambe are not enjoying a season to remember, with the team sitting in the relegation zone ahead of the visit of Fleetwood. The Shrimps are on a three-game losing run in the English third tier, and, as a result, the odds for away win have been dropping. Both Delaney and Ayunga are pushing for a start.
The visitors, on the other hand, did well to beat both Bolton and Gillingham in the previous two league fixtures. Fleetwood aim to escape the danger zone, and they should take advantage of Morecambe’s poor form. Brad Haliday remains in the recovery room, while Daniel Batty serves the last of his three-game ban for the visiting side. In their last meeting in the League One Morecambe emerged triumphant, meaning that Fleetwood are hungry for revenge.
