[England EFL League Two Prediction] Morecambe vs Newport County

Details:

For a matchday 0 fixture, Morecambe will be welcoming Newport County to Wembley Stadium in England EFL League Two. The last meeting on 13 March 2021 concluded with a 3-1 win in Newport County. In the last few seasons, both sides have met twelve times. Morecambe won three matches and Newport County won five. Recent outings average 2.42 goals, with both teams scoring 83% of the time.

Most recently, Morecambe's last match against home Tranmere Rovers in the England EFL League Two ended in a 1-1 draw. They counterattacked and were more dangerous for most of the game. Morecambe scored in the 9th minute before halftime.

The previous Newport County game against Forest Green Rovers ended with a 4-3 loss. Ironsides didn't turn up and for most of the game, they didn't create clear-cut opportunities. Newport County was quite good in the 70, 76, and 119th minutes in both halves.

Seasiders have been more dominant at home since the start of the season. They have 13 wins out of 24 domestic games. While Morecambe is one of the strongest home teams in the league, they are far from perfect. With only 25% home-clean sheets, their defense is not as good as expected.

Newport County has earned 11 points in the last six league games. You still have a lot to prove when you play away. Newport County wins 1.21 points per distance, slightly less than its home record. They must be more compact in defense in order to improve results. In just 29 percent of their visits, Newport County kept a clean sheet.

It is difficult to choose a favorite. Both teams look uniform and have their strengths. I'm not prepared to take the risk and prefer a double bet. Draw or Newport County is my prediction.
