Match Prediction: Forest Green Rovers 2-1 Morecambe
Forest Green Rovers will be looking to bounce back from their recent narrow defeat against Hartlepool United. With a solid home record, they’ll aim to exploit Morecambe’s shaky defence, which has conceded heavily in recent matches. Expect Forest Green to press high and utilise their wing-backs to stretch the play, creating opportunities for D’Mani Mellor and Ricardo Rees up front.Forest Green Rovers will be looking to bounce back from their recent narrow defeat against Hartlepool United.

Morecambe, on the other hand, will be desperate to tighten up at the back after a string of poor defensive performances. They’ll likely sit deep and try to hit Forest Green on the counter, relying on the pace of Daniel Ogwuru and Jack Nolan. However, given their recent form, it might be a tough ask to keep Forest Green at bay.Morecambe, on the other hand, will be desperate to tighten up at the back after a string of poor defensive performances.

Morecambe

A draw against Carlisle United offered a glimmer of hope, but they’ll need to tighten up significantly to stand a chance against a potent Forest Green attack.Morecambe’s recent form has been less than stellar, with three losses in their last five outings.
