Morecambe vs Newport
England – League Two Playoff
Date: Monday, 31 May 2021
Kick-off at 14:00 UK/ 15:00 CET
Venue: Wembley Stadium.
Just ninety minutes separate these two teams from a promotion to the League One. Morecambe are the team in better form, while Newport have the better h2h record in recent years. Likely, expect a fierce encounter filled with goals.
Morecambe had finished fourth in the table this season, thus missing out on a direct-promotion ticket by a whisker. Still, they did deliver a truly inspiring campaign, and had scored the second-most number of goals in the process.
Meanwhile, Newport have absolutely dominated this rival in the past two-year period, and have scored in plenty in the process. Moreover, their confidence is also high, after the nail-biter of win they had in the semis, against Forest Green.
By the looks of things, expect a high-scoring affair this Monday at the Wembley Stadium.
Morecambe had scored two or more goals in six of the past eight overall fixtures, and they were unbeaten in 15 of their preceding 20 games.
They also had missed a direct-promotion spot by a single point, and had missed the top-most position by just four points. They easily are one of the best teams in the competition.
On the other hand, Newport have been the better team in h2h encounters in the last few years, and they have consistently found the back of the net in the process.
In addition, majority of h2h meetings also had goals in huge numbers.
Likely, expect a goal-fest this Monday at the Wembley.
