Morecambe form and stats

1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. That’s the product of Morecambe playing as the away team in the League Two this season. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Morecambe have lost on their last two travels.

Morecambe failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Walsall (placed 20th) that ended with defeat 0-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Scunthorpe United wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Morecambe have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 15 games were W1-D8-L6.

Morecambe have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 4 away games in the league. The Morecambe manager J. Bentley has some worries about the defense as 8 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Last three meetings between the teams: Oldham Athletic won 1, Morecambe won 1 and 1 draw. 1 game with over 2,5 goals, 2 matches with two goals or less.
