Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Saturday’s football game at the Mazuma Stadium pits together Morecambe and Colchester, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the remainder of the season. The Shrimps aim to build on a 2-1 win over MK Dons and a win over Colchester will see them keep their playoffs hopes alive. Joel Senior is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match.
The U’s, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their five-game winless run. Colchester have suffered five defeats in the previous six away games in the League Two, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Lancashire. In the recent clash in the English fourth tier, Morecambe emerged victorious over Colchester with a scoreline of 3-1, aligning perfectly with our earlier prediction.
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.
