Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Morecambe and Crewe, the two playoffs-chasing sides, take on each other at the Mazuma Stadium on Tuesday evening. The Shrimps are five points behind the playoffs berth, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for Ged Brannan’s troops. Both Farrend Rawson and JJ McKiernan have overcome their respective injuries, but all Donald Love, Jacob Davenport, and Stuart Moore remain in the treatment room.
The Railwayman, on the other hand, are on the right track to secure a top-seven finish, but they can’t afford any complacency in the season finale. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Morecambe want this win more than Crewe, who failed to win the previous four away games in the English fourth tier. Both Christopher Long and Ed Turns should recover in time to face Morecambe, while both Owen Lunt and Jack Powell remain on the sidelines with injuries, speaking of the away team.
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.
