Morecambe form and stats

0 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Morecambe have to build on here at Mazuma Stadium in the League One.

The home club members witnessed a 0-0 draw versus Hartlepool United in the EFL Trophy last time out and are hoping for a win here. Just what the doctor ordered, as that was the first league win after failing to win eight consecutive fixtures.

Before that match, a League One win away at Forest Green Rovers.

The lack of attacking qualities in Morecambe means that they have only scored 1 goal in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match.

W L L W L

Cambridge United form and stats

0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Cambridge United, who have the fewest points (1) away in League One, playing as the away team in the League One this season.

Two away games in a row for Cambridge, whose boss Bonner could celebrate last time after the EFL Trophy win against Northampton Town.

Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Barnsley.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Cambridge United as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league.
