🔮 Prediction

In this game, Morecambe would be disappointed if they were not to put one past this Stoke City lineup, but a single goal is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We can see a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 winning score for Stoke City when the referee blows the final whistle. Should be an interesting one.
