Prediction: 2-2
Morecambe
Bradford City and Morecambe go head to head at Valley Parade in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The Bantams have been playing some high-scoring games of late, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Morecambe. January signing Charles Vernam, who scored his first goal of the season in the 3-2 loss to Exeter. The Shrimps, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-match winless run in the League Two.
Since Morecambe have been struggling at the back of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Bradley Lyons, who scored as a substitute in the 1-1 draw with Bolton, is widely expected to return to the starting XI. It has to be noted that nine goals in total have been netted in the previous three meetings between the two clubs.
