Prediction: 3-2
Morecambe
Buoyed by a 3-0 win over Doncaster Rovers, Notts County will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Morecambe at Meadow Lane. The Magpies desperately needed a win on Boxing Day and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their three-game losing run and, no doubt, the triumph gave them a confidence boost. Barring any fresh injury worries, Luke Williams is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Donny.
The Shrimps, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Doncaster, losing to MK Dons, while sharing the spoils with Bradford City. As Morecambe are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. A man to watch in the away team will be talented midfielder John Joshua McKiernan, who has found his goal-scoring touch in late December.
