Prediction: 0-2
Stockport County
Morecambe will look to build on the FA Cup win over Wycombe when they take on Stockport County in the League Two round 21. The Shrimps do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing each of their last four league matches and it is no wonder the odds for away win have been dropping. Even though there are no fresh selection worries in the home team, Ged Brannan is likely to make changes to the team that suffered a 2-1 loss to Newport.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, aim to retain top position in the standings and we predict that they will take advantage of the current situation in Morecambe’s dressing room. As for the away team, forward Isaac Olaofe is pushing for a start after he was rested in the EFL Trophy loss to Wigan Athletic in midweek.
