Morecambe form and stats

There's been little loot from Morecambe's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 17 away games in the League One. Morecambe only have 1 win to counter their 11 defeats and 5 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Morecambe have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone twelve consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Morecambe has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Cambridge United for a 1-1 draw. Goalkeeper Ripley made a total of seven saves, making him a hero against Cambridge United. Heavily contributing to the draw after 90 minutes.

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Bolton Wanderers.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Morecambe playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 0 away wins, 1 draw and 3 home wins.

A new game in only three days for Morecambe, the League One home match versus Charlton Athletic. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Morecambe as they have only managed to score 11 times from 17 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As for defending, Morecambe rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 33 goals from these away matches.
