Our prediction for this League 2 match:
The Mazuma Stadium will host Tuesday’s League Two game between Morecambe and Tranmere, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Shrimps have been climbing the standings week by week and they must be high on confidence following back-to-back wins over Colchester and Sutton. Barring any fresh injury worries, Derek Adams is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed Sutton at the weekend.
The Super Whites, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back losses to Crewe and Doncaster, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the in-form hosts. As for the visiting team, all Jolley, Lewis, and Apter are pushing for a start after the trio came off the bench in the 2-1 defeat to Doncaster. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier the two sides played out a 1-1 draw.

Born in Trowbridge, England, on October 30, 1994, Jordan Turnbull is a professional footballer who plays for Northampton Town as a defender. Turnbull is a product of Swindon Town football academy, but in 2007 he was spotted by Southampton scouts.
