The upcoming match between Morecambe FC and Port Vale at the Globe Arena on February 21, 2023, has already excited many soccer fans.
If their most recent match is any indication, we can anticipate yet another intense matchup at this upcoming event. Their most recent meeting was on December 26,2022. Since Port Vale won that game by a score of 1-0, Morecambe FC has high hopes for this one. Morecambe FC is expected to make up ground after losing to Port Vale in two-thirds of their previous three games. In terms of goals, Port Vale is the favorite because they have scored 2 in their last three games, while Morecambe FC has only scored 1.
On the date, winds are predicted to only reach 4 kmph in Morecambe, so they shouldn’t affect the game. The players shouldn’t become overheated too quickly because the matchday temperatures won’t likely rise above 10°C. The likelihood of the teams having to play in the rain, which is about 39%, is also a possibility.
Morecambe’s first half of the season was particularly tough, with back-to-back defeats, including a 1-0 defeat to Port Vale on Boxing Day, leaving them with just 15 points from 22 games.
The Shrimps led 2-0 at halftime thanks to goals from Kieran Phillips and Weir. The second goal came from Phillips, and Caleb Watts added two goals off the bench to give the Shrimps their fourth three-point win of the season.
Morecambe vs Port Vale Team News :
After the rout of Burton Albion, Morecambe only made one forced substitution for their Cheltenham match: forward Cole Stockton was unable to play because of an injury. However, he is expected to play on Saturday and will likely replace Kieran Phillips, who recently returned to his parent club Huddersfield Town after scoring three goals in his last two games on loan.
However, there have been other goals in recent weeks, and midfielder Jensen Weir, who has scored in each of their last three matches to bring his season total to eight League One goal, will be confident entering the game.
The back three of Farrend Rawson, Jacob Bedeau, and Ryan Delaney will likely remain unchanged.
Ellis Harrison, who scored eight league goals this season in the dramatic victory over Forest Green Rovers, and fellow attacker James Wilson, who both missed the Peterborough game due to injuries, could be out for Port Vale once more.
Mipo Odubeko and Gavin Massey took part in the attack when they weren’t there. If Harrison and Wilson aren’t able to play again, Dennis Politic should be called in right away to add more dangerous going forward.
Throughout the campaign, Nathan Smith has been a relative mainstay in the middle of the defense. Lewis Cass and Dan Jones should join him in a back three again, and Ben Garrity should keep his spot in the engine room.
