Prediction: 1-2
Walsall
Morecambe will be aiming to recover from a 1-0 loss to Doncaster when they take on Walsall in the League Two round 33. The Shrimps are determined to escape the relegation zone and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail in Saturday’s clash. Goalkeeper Ryan Schofield is likely to miss the game with a groin injury, with Stuart Moore remaining in the treatment room.
Mat Sadler’s troops, on the other hand, are leading the chase for automatic promotion. The league leaders proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Chesterfield, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence and despite Morecambe’s need for points, away win should be considered. Duo Connor Barrett – Harry Williams is rated doubtful for the visiting side after limping off with injury in the last league match. Earlier this season, Walsall recorded a 1-0 win over Morecambe at Bescot Stadium.
