Morecambe form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Morecambe's two home games in the League One so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Mazuma Stadium.

The Morecambe fans got no joy from their last match, a Carabao Cup game also here at Mazuma Stadium: A 2-4 defeat against Preston North End. Toumani Diagouraga (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.35/10. Diagouraga dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 31 successful passes (of 38 total). As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Morecambe's goalkeeper Jökull Andrésson was extremely busy against Preston North End, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.

A League One defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Gillingham.
