Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Saturday’s football game at the Mazuma Stadium pits together Morecambe and Chesterfield, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the 2024/2025 League Two campaign. The Shrimps’ main goal is to secure the top flight survival, while Paul Cook’s troops are eyeing promotion to the League One. Anyhow, home win should not be considered as Morecambe failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to MK Dons (1-3) and AFC Wimbledon (0-3).
There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, though. The newcomers, on the other hand, were more than unfortunate not to beat Colchester United in their last league match. As Chesterfield had 25 goal attempts in the midweek clash (nine on target), we predict that they are going to break Morecambe’s defence on Matchday 14. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be former Wigan and Sunderland striker Will Grigg, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late.
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.
