Morecambe vs Sunderland Predictions & Tips

Should Fleetwood or Gillingham fail to win on Saturday then Morecambe will be safe. Derek Adams will be wary that anything is possible on the final day of the season and will be hopeful that his side can record the victory that would guarantee them another season in English footballs third tier. Morecambe have won just one of their last four matches and welcome a Sunderland team who fighting at the other end of the table, to The Mazuma Stadium on Saturday.

A win will secure Black Cats play-off berth

Sunderland’s fate on the final day of the season if firmly in their hands. A win for Alex Neil’s side will be enough to secure them a place in the play-offs and they are fancied to do just that. Sunderland are unbeaten in their last twelve matches and they are yet to taste defeat on the road under Neil’s stewardship. Sunderland have some scars from the play-offs down the years and a high-pressure game may be the ideal preparation as they seek a return to English footballs second tier.

Goals should be guaranteed

The prospects of a high-scoring, exciting game on Saturday look bright. Both teams have scored in ten of Morecambe’s last eleven matches. Sunderland’s recent outings have seen no shortage of goals either – both teams have scored in four of their last five games. With all sorts of emotion thrown into the mix on Saturday I am hopeful this will be a high-scoring affair.

With only a win guaranteeing a spot in the play-offs, I fully expect Alex Neil’s side to go all guns blazing on Saturday. Sunderland to win and both teams to score in the match will be the main selection for Saturday’s clash at The Mazuma Stadium. Sunderland put five past Morecambe when these two sides met at the Stadium of Light back in December, and they look set to hand The Shrimps another hiding on Saturday. The correct score prediction for this one will be a 3-1 Sunderland win.
