Morecambe form and stats

Morecambe have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the League One. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

Morecambe's previous game was a League One match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Sheffield Wednesday (placed 4th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Goalkeeper Jökull Andrésson got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.63 out of ten. Andrésson stopped the opponent with two saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that match was the home Carabao Cup game against Preston North End that was lost 2-4.

This is expected to be a close game, with Morecambe perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Morecambe as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Morecambe has won six of these, drawn three and lost three.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the EFL Trophy game versus Everton U21 in only three days. This game is also played here at Mazuma Stadium.

The Morecambe fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Morecambe have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.

AFC Wimbledon form and stats

Things could have gone better for AFC Wimbledon in their League One away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

The supporters enjoyed Wimbledon's previous game versus Portsmouth (placed 6th), a EFL Trophy 5-3 win played at home. As you can tell from the result, the match against Portsmouth was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 8 goals, will the fun continue today?

That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Oxford United in the League One.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Wimbledon playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were five AFC Wimbledon wins, three draws and two defeats.

AFC Wimbledon find the net regularly in their away games. 4 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. 4 goals have been conceded by Wimbledon in these games.

Head 2 Head
