Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Morecambe and Fleetwood go head to head at the Mazuma Stadium on day 3 of the new League One campaign. Morecambe have been struggling in front of goal of late, with the team failing to find the net in the previous three games in all competitions. Since first-team regular Jensen Weir misses Saturday’s clash through suspension, we do not believe that home win should be considered. Forward Courtney Duffus remains on the sidelines with injury.
Fleetwood, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Plymouth (2-1) and Wigan Athletic (1-0). The Cod Army have been in a much better form than Morecambe at the start of the season, and, taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the visiting side. There are no fresh injury worries in Scott Brown’s team ahead of Matchday 3.

Highlighted Team (Fleetwood):
Known for their attacking style of play, Fleetwood Town are a professional football club based in Fletwood, Lancashire. The Fishermen play their home matches at Highbury Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 5,327 (2,672 seated), with the team wearing red and white shirts in home matches.
On the other hand, Fleetwood footballers are dressed in yellow when playing on the travels. The original club was founded back in 1908 under the name of Fleetwood FC and 69 years later they were re-established as Fleetwood Town F.C. In 1998 the club was renamed to Fleetwood Wanderers after the second reformation.
Legendary England footballer Joey Barton is considered one of the club’s most notable coaches. Barton, who was known for his incidents on the field, has been in charge since June 2, 2018. Neighbouring club Blackpool are regarded as one of Fleetwood’s main rivals. The Fishermen have built up rivalries with Morecambe and Preston North End as well.
