An important duel in the bottom section of the League Two, with both Morecambe and Stevenage experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 22nd and the visitors in 24th place.

Morecambe and Stevenage should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Morecambe form and stats

Overall League Two stats at home this season for Morecambe, who have the most conceded goals (60) in League Two, are 4-8-6 (wins-draw-losses).

Stevenage form and stats

There's been little loot from Stevenage's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 19 away games in the League Two. Stevenage only have 1 win to counter their 11 defeats and 7 draws. Football is a nightmare at the moment for Stevenage who have suffered through a eight match losing streak. If there's light at the end of the tunnel it's certainly not visible for the supporters. It's all red in the travel logs of Stevenage, having lost five matches in a row as the visiting team.

Two away games in a row for Stevenage, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-3 versus Crewe Alexandra in the League Two. Prior to that match, the Stevenage manager G. Westley faced defeat when travelling to Crawley Town and losing 0-2.

Stevenage goalkeeper Paul Farman had a great day against Crewe Alexandra, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided.

The attacking power of Stevenage when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 19 league matches away. As opposed to that, Stevenage have seen the ball go into their own net 28 times on the road.
