Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Morecambe
Match Time & Date:
01/12/2020
02:45 PM
Prediction: 1-1
Barrow
Globe Arena will host Tuesday’s football game between Morecambe and Barrow, the two teams who were beaten by Salford and Oldham on Matchday 14. Morecambe extended their winless run in the League Two to four games, but they did well to beat Solihull Moors 4-2 in the FA Cup at the weekend. The Shrimps are eager to return to winning ways in the League Two as well, but the game against Barrow will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, have been struggling at the back of late, with the team conceding eight goals in total in the previous four league fixtures. Since they look sharp in front of goal, we believe that punters can find value in betting on both teams to score. This will be their first ever meeting in the English fourth tier.
Highlighted Player (A-Jay Leitch-Smith):
Born in Crewe, England on March 6, 1990, A-Jay Leitch-Smith is a professional footballer who plays for Morecambe as a forward. Leitch-Smith is a product of the Crewe Alexandra football academy, and it has to be noted that he made 103 appearances for the club’s first team.
After spending several seasons on loan at Halifax Town, Newcastle Town, IBV, and Curzon Ashton, the English footballer joined Yeovil Town on a permanent basis in the 2014/2015 season. A-Jay Leitch-smith played for the likes of Port Vale, Shrewsbury Town, and Dundee (loan) as well before moving to his current club Morecambe.
Leitch-Smith is a very intelligent and creative attacker with good technical abilities. His preferred foot is centre-forward, but he is used as both second striker and right winger as well. The English footballer, who wears the number 28 jersey at Morecambe, has a contract with the Shrimps until June 30, 2021.
Highlighted Team (Barrow):
Founded back in 1901, Barrow is an English club that competes in the League two, the fourth tier of the English football system. The Bluebirds are well known for their blue shirts with white details, but yellow is the dominant colour of their away jersey. Barrow play home games at Holker Street, the stadium which can hold up to 5,045 spectators.
The venue was opened in 1909, and it has to be noted that no fewer than 16,874 people attended the FA Cup match between Barrow and Swansea in January, 1954. The Bluebirds have won two FA Trophies (1989/90, 2009/10), with the team lifting the Lancashire Senior Cup trophy in the 1954/55.
The likes of James Bell, Jim Collins, Andy McLaren, Jimmy Mulholland, Jackie Robertson, Barry Diamond, and George King are the most notable footballers who played for Barrow in the past. It has to be noted that the Bluebirds have never competed in the English top flight.
