It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Morecambe and Cambridge United.
Morecambe form and stats
3-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Morecambe so far this season.
The fans are hoping that Morecambe will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the League One game against Oxford United (placed 6th). The versatile forward Cole Stockton bested all the other footballers in that fixture and managed a match rating of 7.61 out of 10. Stockton scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that, Morecambe drew at home versus Plymouth Argyle.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 five of these, drawn four and lost three.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Morecambe, as the FA Cup home game vs Newport County is only four days away.
A decent goal production from Morecambe in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 7 league matches. Morecambe have conceded 9 in these home matches.
Cambridge United form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cambridge United so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-2 (win-draw-lose).
Jensen Weir scored in Cambridge's previous match, the home game against AFC Wimbledon that ended 1-0. Tomáš Holý (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.43. Holý stopped the opponent with three saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
A 1-1 draw at Doncaster Rovers's stadium before that.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cambridge playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were five Cambridge United wins, five draws and five defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Cambridge manager M. Bonner as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Northampton Town.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Cambridge have scored 8 goals in 6 league games away. In the opposite end, Cambridge United have conceded 11 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the prior ten meetings featuring these two contenders are: four wins for Morecambe, three draws and three wins for Cambridge United. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
