The League Two play-off final is shaping up to be a firecracker of a game, as Morecambe and Newport County square up to each other at Wembley this weekend.
Morecambe missed out on automatic promotion to League One by a single point and will be determined not to let their season go to waste.
The Shrimps dug deep against Tranmere in the semi-finals to narrowly secure safe passage through to the showpiece game.
Newport endured a wild ride to the final, after winning 2-0 in their first leg against Forest Green Rovers, before being defeated 4-2 in normal time during the second clash thanks to a last-gasp Jamille Matt strike.
The tie went to extra time, where veteran striker Nicky Maynard struck a dramatic winner in the 119th minute to lose the game 4-3, but win the tie 5-3 on aggregate.

Our prediction: Morecambe v Newport County
This one could very easily go either way. Morecambe barely saw the ball in their semi-final clashes but found a way to win, while Newport powered their way to victory by any means necessary.
Former Morecambe striker Kevin Ellison made headlines this season, when the 42-year-old scored against his old club for Newport and celebrated wildly in front of Shrimps' boss Derek Adams, after claiming his former manager disrespected him by letting him leave.
He will be determined to taste another dose of revenge this weekend on the big stage.
Newport have already done the double over Morecambe in the league this season and have won their last three matches in a row against the Shrimps. They have every chance of extending that run.
Our prediction: Morecambe 1-2 Newport County (17/2 at bet365)
