Morecambe

LWWLLL 📉

Morecambe will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 2-0 League Two defeat last time out to Stockport County.

Isaac Olaofe (8') and Fraser Horsfall (45') scored for Stockport County.

It’s been all too rare in recent times where Morecambe have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Morecambe have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, shipping 11 goals during that time. Previous results aside, we will just have to wait and see whether that trend shall be sustained in this upcoming game.

Their prior results show that Morecambe:

• have not lost a league tie with Forest Green Rovers in their previous 4 matches.
• are without a win at home for the past 2 league games.

Forest Green Rovers

The only name on the scoresheet from Forest Green Rovers was Ryan Inniss (33' Own goal). Elliot Lee (17'), Paul Mullin (23', 44'), Ryan Barnett (63') and Jack Marriott (84') scored for Wrexham.

The stats don’t lie, and Forest Green Rovers have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 14 goals in total. At the back, Forest Green Rovers certainly have room for improvement.

Taking a look at their past results, Forest Green Rovers:

• remain unbeaten by Morecambe in games played away from home for the previous 3 league games.
