Morecambe form and stats

With 1 League One win, 5 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Morecambe are certainly not brimming with confidence. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Mazuma Stadium, but a victory now would be sweet for Morecambe.

No payout for Morecambe in their previous match, an away game at Port Vale that ended in defeat 0-1. Defender Rawson got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.35/10. Rawson won 11 of 15 duels.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Plymouth Argyle (1-2).

Betting people might want to know that 11 of the latest 14 league matches from this football club have seen goals scored by both teams.

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. Burton Albion are visiting.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Morecambe here at Mazuma Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (7 from 10 games). Morecambe have conceded 15 from these games.

Fancy a bet on few goals? 5 league games in a row with this team have had zero, one or two goals.

The schedule is very tough for Accrington now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League One game at Derby County is waiting in only four days.
