Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-1
Southend
Globe Arena will host Monday’s football match between Morecambe and Southend United, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the season finale. Morecambe are eyeing promotion to the League One, while Southend are fighting hard to secure the League Two survival. The Shrimps aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Cambridge United, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Seasiders on Matchday 40.
Keep in mind, though, that talented defender Liam Gibson misses the match through suspension. Southend, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-0 loss to Carlisle United. The Seasiders are desperate to escape the relegation zone, but seeing that veteran midfielder Alan McCormack is sidelined through injury, we are tempted to put our money on the promotion-chasing hosts. Morecambe are eyeing their fifth consecutive win over Southend.
