Morecambe form and stats

When playing at home in the League One, Morecambe have managed 5 wins, 6 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 15 games.

No payout for Morecambe in their previous match, an away game at Sheffield Wednesday that ended in defeat 0-3. Delaney was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.43 out of 10. The defender Delaney won 7 of 11 duels.

Before that, Morecambe drew at home versus Forest Green Rovers.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Morecambe as they have a new game in only three days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Port Vale are visiting.

Morecambe are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 15 games. 18 goals have been conceded.

Peterborough United form and stats

5 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses. That’s the product of Peterborough United playing as the away team in the League One this season.

Peterborough are looking to quickly end their 180 minutes long goal drought in the League One.

Two away games in a row for Peterborough United, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Fleetwood Town. Ogbeta was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.63. The defender Ogbeta hit five key passes and won 11 of 20 duels.

A loss against Bolton Wanderers was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Peterborough find the net regularly in their away games. 19 goals from 15 away fixtures in the league. Peterborough United's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 23 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
