Morecambe form and stats

Morecambe, who have the most conceded goals (19) in League Two, have collected 2 points from their League Two home games so far after 0-2-3. Morecambe has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager J. Bentley and the players.

Morecambe lost their last game at Oldham Athletic (placed 20th) after a 1-3 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Walsall (0-1).

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Morecambe, as the EFL Trophy home game vs Wolves U21 is only three days away.

Morecambe have scored 4 league goals here from 5 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 8 goals have been conceded.

Northampton Town form and stats

The visitors are W2-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the League Two.

There were no winners in Northampton Town's previous match, a League Two home game that ended 2-2 vs Crawley Town (placed 8th). Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Stevenage.

The attacking power of Northampton Town when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 5 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Northampton Town as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 1 win for Morecambe, 4 draws and 5 wins for Northampton Town. Over 2,5 goals: 4 times; under 2,5 goals: 6 games.
