Prediction: 1-2
Forest Green
Morecambe and Forest Green face each other in a highly-anticipated game at Globe Arena on day 8 of the new League Two campaign. Morecambe head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Mansfield Town, and you should bear in mind that they are eyeing their fifth win of the season. Forest Green, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss at Colchester United.
The Green Army are eager to return to winning ways in the League Two, and seeing that Morecambe have been anything but impressive of late, away win should be considered. England rising star Jake Young is widely expected to return to the starting XI after he was rested in the midweek clash. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier Forest Green emerged triumphant, and that is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the visitors.
