Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Following three consecutive defeats in all competitions, Morecambe will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Bromley in the League Two round 21. The Shrimps suffered a dip in form, especially in front of goal, and, as a result, the bookies see them as underdogs in Saturday’s clash. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of the visit of Bromley.
The Ravens, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Port Vale. Bromley, though, have been producing fine performances on the road of late, which is probably the main reason why away win should be considered. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Michael Cheek, who has netted 10 goals in the League Two so far this season. The 33-year-old should be once again deployed up front as a lone centre-forward.
Highlighted Team (Morecambe):
Based in Lancashire, England, Morecambe are a professional club that compete in the League 2. The Shrimps were founded in 1920, and they welcome their home rivals at Globe Arena. The venue, which was opened in August, 2010, can hold up to 6,476 people.
Morecambe wear red shirts and red shorts when playing in front of home fans, while yellow is the dominant colour of their away kit. Fellow Lancashire-based club Accrington Stanley are seen as the club’s fiercest rivals. The Shrimps have rivalries with the likes of Lancaster City, Fleetwood Town, Barrow, Kendal Town, and Southport as well.
In 1974 Morecambe won the FA Trophy as they defeated Dartford 2-1 in the title game, and 14 years later they lifted the Conference League Cup trophy. The Shrimps secured promotion into the Football League with a 2-1 win over Exeter City in the 2007 play-offs final.
