📏 Form Guide
Morecambe
LLLWWL
Morecambe will be wanting a better result here after a 0-3 League Two loss in their previous game against Doncaster Rovers.
Luke Molyneux (12', 23') and Tommy Rowe (91') scored for Doncaster Rovers.
Morecambe haven’t had any problems with scoring, finding the back of the net every time they’ve gone out to play in their last 6 matches.
They have claimed a sum of 11 during that period while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 16. Such a pattern won’t necessarily follow through here, however.

- are unbeaten in their previous 2 league matches at home.
- haven’t won at home in the past 5 league games. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.
