Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Saturday’s football game at The Mazuma Stadium pits together Morecambe and Port Vale, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the 2024/2025 League Two campaign. The Shrimps aim to build on a 2-1 win over Harrogate and a triumph over Port Vale could see them escape the relegation zone. Stuart Moore limped off with injury in the last league match, with fellow goalkeeper Harry Burgoyne likely to step up.
The Valiants, on the other hand, are eager to retain top position in the standings. Port Vale suffered a 1-0 loss to Gillingham, but they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. As Darren Moore’s men have already recorded five wins on the road this season, we predict that they are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s encounter. Midfielder Ethan Chislett is in line for a recall to the starting XI.
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.
