Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Accrington Town play host to Morecambe at their Wham Stadium on day 41 of the current League Two campaign. The Accy Stanley aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Sutton and they are surely capable of matching the out-of-sorts Shrimps in front of home fans. Radek Vitek is back from international duty, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, are on a four-game losing run in the League Two, with the team conceding 14 goals in total in those encounters. As Morecambe were struggling at the back before the international window, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Friday’s encounter. To make things even worse for the visiting team, all Donald Love, Stuart Moore, Brandon Barker, and JJ McKiernan are out of contention with injuries. Farrend Rawson, though, should recover in time to face the Accy Stanley.
Highlighted Team (Accrington):
Founded back in 1891 and reformed in 1968, Accrington Stanley are an English football club that compete in the League One. The original team competed in the Football League from 1921 to 1962, spending the last four seasons in Lancashire Combination.
The Accy are well known for their red home kit, whilst they wear sky blue shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels. The League One side play their home games at Crown Ground, the stadium which can hold up to 5,450 spectators (3,100 seated). Accrington have been playing at Crown Ground since 1970.
Listed as the all-time favourite player amongst fans, Chris Grimshaw is one of the most famous Accrington Stanley footballers. However, George Stewart is the team’s top scorer, netting 136 goals in total from 1954 to 1958. It has to be noted that the Accy have yet to represent England in European competitions.
