Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Morecambe

Prediction: 1-2
Crewe
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over MK Dons, Morecambe will look to move closer to the playoffs berth when they take on Crewe on Saturday afternoon. The weekend triumph gave them a confidence boost, but Ged Brannan’s troops will have a much bigger fish to fry against the Railwaymen. Joel Senior limped off with injury in the last league match, with Kayden Harrack likely to step up.
Crewe, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in the League Two. The Railwaymen produced a brilliant display in a 3-1 win over Barrow and given their signs of improvement in front of goal, away triumph should definitely be considered. In their last meeting at the Mazuma Stadium Crewe defeated Morecambe 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Lee Bell is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Bluebirds.
