Wycombe Wanderers form and stats

Perfect League One season at home so far for Wycombe Wanderers 3 wins from 3 appearances. Wanderers has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Adams Park. We remember; it was Luton Town.

A strong away win for Wanderers against Shrewsbury Town the last match, as Ryan Tafazolli and Joe Jacobson were on target. David Stockdale loved the game against Shrewsbury Town. With a stunning six saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 2-1 victory. Defender Joe Jacobson got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.84/10. Jacobson scored one goal and won 7 of 13 duels.

Prior to that, an away loss at Milton Keynes Dons.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Wycombe Wanderers matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, zero draws and zero defeats (from three games).

The manager G. Ainsworth will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Milton Keynes Dons in only three days.

The Wycombe Wanderers fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches. Wanderers have only conceded 2 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Morecambe form and stats

The visitors are W1-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the League One.

Morecambe go into this game after a win, the home game against Lincoln City that ended 2-0. Defender Scott Wootton was the best team player with a rating of 8.1. Wootton scored one goal and won 4 of 6 duels.

A 3-3 draw was the result before that, hosting Accrington Stanley.

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 three games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and three home wins.

The schedule is very tough for Morecambe now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A EFL Trophy game at Hartlepool United is waiting in only three days.

Morecambe are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 6 times in 4 away games so far. As for defending, Morecambe rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 6 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Previous ten meetings involving these squads: Wanderers won four, Morecambe were winners in four and we saw two draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with under 2,5 goals.
