Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Jay Lynch not having conceded a league goal in 315 minutes.

A nice win for Fleetwood last time playing, versus Cambridge United. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Rooney scoring for the victors. Sarpong-Wiredu, defender, was given a rating of 8.01/10 in that game, top of the team. Sarpong-Wiredu hit one key pass and won 8 of 12 duels.

0-0 away at Plymouth Argyle before that.

Morecambe form and stats

There's been little loot from Morecambe's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 15 away games in the League One. Morecambe only have 1 win to counter their 10 defeats and 4 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Morecambe have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road.

The fans enjoyed Morecambe's previous fixture versus Port Vale (placed 12th), a 1-0 win played at home. That victory felt nice as this club had gone four league games without winning. Ripley was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.72. The agile goalkeeper Ripley topped it up with a clean sheet.

A 0-3 loss hosting Peterborough United before that.

Morecambe are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 4 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 12 matches.

The attacking power of Morecambe when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 15 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Morecambe, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
