Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Saturday’s football game at the Mazuma Stadium pits together Morecambe and Gillingham, the two teams who were involved in some entertaining encounters in the past. The Shrimps made a slow start to the season, with the team losing to Walsall in their League Two opener, while suffering elimination to Huddersfield in the EFL Cup round 1. Kayden Harrack serves a one-game ban, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Gills, on the other hand, rolled over Carlisle United in the opening match of the season, with summer recruit Jacob Wakeling opening his goal-scoring account. The Gills, though, suffered a 3-1 loss to Swansea City in the EFL Cup round 1, meaning that they will be fully focused on the English fourth tier in the remainder of the season. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as both sides managed to find the net in each of their last six encounters in all competitions. Talented forward Euan Williams is banned for the visiting side.
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.
