Morecambe vs Newport Prediction & Betting tips
After the field of participants for the upcoming Premier League season was completed on Saturday and the last vacant spot in the championship was awarded on Sunday, Monday afternoon will be about which team will make the leap from fourth-rate League Two to third-rate League One. From 15:00, the decisive promotion game between Morecambe and Newport will take place in front of around 10,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium.
Morecambe:
The Morecambe Football Club has never been able to achieve promotion to the third division in its club history. But on the contrary. The “Erics” have been in fourth class for 14 years and, with one exception (2009/10), could never reach the playoffs. It is all the more impressive what an outstanding season Derek Adams’ team played.
The “Shrimps” scored a remarkable 78 points from 46 games and were thus only one point behind the first direct promotion position after the main round. The red-white-blacks had to go to the playoffs, but they deservedly beat the Tranmere Rovers 3-2 in total in the semi-finals after two legs. Now the first promotion to League One beckons on Monday afternoon in Wembley.
Newport:
In 2018/19 Newport County was already on the verge of making the leap into League One. In the then playoff final, however, the Welsh had to admit defeat 0-1 after extra time against the Tranmere Rovers. This failure fit in seamlessly with the disappointing performances at Wembley Stadium, as three of the past four matches in the National Stadium of the “Three Lions” were lost.
However, this worrying record does not mean that lower odds are offered on the County opponent between Morecambe and Newport. Instead, the lowest three-way odds of 2.60 are offered on a Welsh success after regular time. It may be advisable to keep your own stake small and to take advantage of the Interwetten voucher campaign instead.
