Morecambe form and stats

Morecambe have only collected 8 points from their away games in the League One, after 1-5-12 (18 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row.

Morecambe's last game was the home draw against Oxford United (after extra-time) (1-1). As mentioned above, Morecambe drew the match against Oxford United. Manager Adams brought on Hunter to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked. Midfield player Gibson was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.14/10. Gibson dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that, the 1-4 home loss versus Charlton Athletic (after extra-time).
