Morecambe form and stats

The first League One game here at Mazuma Stadium resulted in a draw. Last season Morecambe's home game statistics were 7 victories, 8 draws and 8 defeats from 23 games.

Ayunga was the last player to score a league goal for Morecambe and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Morecambe haven't scored in 360 minutes.

The home club members saw a 0-0 draw versus Stoke City in the Carabao Cup last time out and are looking for a win here. Ripley, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.94 out of 10 in that game. Ripley topped it up with a clean sheet.

Heartbreak before that as Morecambe lost 0-3 at Peterborough United's place.

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 8 games. Morecambe has won 2 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.

Morecambe are traveling soon after this match as the League One match at Bolton Wanderers awaits in three days.

Early season league goal statistics from Morecambe's 1 home game: 0 goals, 0 conceded.

Fleetwood Town form and stats

Fleetwood Town have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the League One were 3 victories, 8 draws and 12 defeats from 23 fixtures.

The followers enjoyed Fleetwood Town's previous game versus Wigan Athletic, a Carabao Cup win (1-0) played at home. That victory felt nice as this club had gone four league rounds without victory. Nsiala, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.83. Nsiala served one assist, hit one key pass and won 6 of 11 duels.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Plymouth Argyle.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Fleetwood Town playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 0 Fleetwood wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats.

After this away game Fleetwood Town return home for a League One game against Cheltenham Town. That game is only three sleeps after this.

It's early days yet, but Fleetwood Town has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head
