Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Following an embarrassing 6-0 loss to Wrexham, Morecambe will look to return to winning ways in the League Two when they take on Newport County on Tuesday evening. The Shrimps have been struggling at the back of late, with the team losing each of their last three league matches, but this game could be the turning point for Ged Brannan’s charges.
The Exiles, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Stockport County. Newport County, though, have already suffered seven defeats on the road this term and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Morecambe’s party at The Mazuma Stadium. Graham Coughlan is likely to field the same starting XI that faced the Bluebirds as the 49-year-old tactician has no fresh selection worries. In their last meeting at the venue (FA Cup, 2021) Morecambe defeated Newport 1-0 thanks to Aaron Wildig’s goal.
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.
