As the end of the Ligue 2 season approaches, one of the groups announced for the automatics at the beginning of the year and one of the groups that came from Ligue 1 due to relegation last season are facing others.
Understandably, Wrexham were heavily tipped for back-to-back promotion this season, but it hasn’t been easy. The Welsh team is in the top three lately, but with only five issues separating the first from fifth, everything is still up for grabs. .
Their home form during the season has been outstanding, seeing Phil Parkinson’s men at the top of the table at home, however, their away form is most productive in mid-table, picking up just five wins in 18 games.
Morecambe is the team hosting Wrexham this weekend, and both teams have a lot to gain. The home team is lately in eighth place in the league, only away from home the play-off puts a goal difference against Walsall, who have been in a wonderful The Shrimps have not been disappointed in recent games, as they are on a run that has seen them win their last two games, one against promotion hopefuls Crewe Alexandra.
A win here could propel them above the Saddlers, as well as potentially overtake fellow northeastern Barrow, who is just two points behind them in sixth. An away win could see Wrexham close the gap to league leaders Mansfield Town and cement their position. in the automatic promotion positions.
Here’s how two members of The Real EFL’s editorial see things unfold. . .
“I’ve lost count of the number of predictions we’ve made at The Real EFL now, but this is perhaps one of the hardest to rate. At first glance, 3rd vs. 7th, you might be susceptible to passing. with the top-ranked team, right? Well, no. Morecambe are at home and Wrexham’s away form leaves a lot to be desired. Adding to that recent form is the fact that both have won just two of their last five games against various oppositions. .
“Form doesn’t seem to help us here, so it’s more productive to take a look at playing styles. Wrexham are a forged attacking team, without sacrificing too much defensive forging, as evidenced by their forged shooting record. On the other hand, he doesn’t create many chances, but he is clinical in the ones he creates.
That’s how I see it, a close game in which both teams score, with the home team having fewer chances but doing better with them, with the Welsh club pushing home with the purpose of also finding goalkeeper Archie Mair in their way. . . often. “
Morecambe 2-1 Wrexham
“The Ligue 2 title race, let alone the automatic promotion race, is still wide open and Wrexham are well in the race. After Mansfield lost to MK Dons on Tuesday night, which was their unfinished game, there are only 3 questions left. With Crewe and MK Dons just two points adrift, the race intensified and the Red Dragons found themselves in a good position.
Having failed to win any of their last 3 games, Phil Parkinson’s team beat Accrington by 4 last week in an incredibly dominant feature and if they can get back to the same point here, they will be on top. Morecambe, however, is by no means child’s play and will be on the hunt to cause a disappointment at home.
Just outside of the playoffs, goal difference in an ultra-competitive midfield, 3 problems here for the Shrimp would go a long way. The challenge for them is that they are playing at Wrexham at the time after a crushing win.
While that functionality against Accrington may not possibly be confirmed, the odds speak favorably in favor of visiting teams, and that’s what I’m leaning towards.
