The Shrimps are in a spot of bother at the moment, with them having fallen down to three straight league defeats. That has left them teetering just above the League Two relegation zone now. So this is a big game for them against Yeovil who are just two places above them, but the Glovers have burst into life with back to back wins on the board.

Morecambe FC
Yeovil TownMorecambe Form
Morecambe are on a three-match losing streak at the moment and they have managed to pick up just the one win in their last seven played now (D2 L4). So there’s been little cheer for them really and they are only two points above the drop zone now. Their home form is just about keeping them afloat, but that’s not even that great. Overall they are W4 D2 L6 at the Globe Arena and they have only netted the ten goals at home this season, and that’s an average of 0.83 per game. They have collected a clean sheet in a quarter of their home games and they haven’t been defensively terrible at home, so they should be able to keep the score down at least and under 2.5 goals is probably the way to go.
Yeovil Form
Yeovil have put together a three-match unbeaten streak of form, winning their last two over Exeter and Cheltenham to put themselves in much better stead. The Glovers are undefeated in their last two away games, part of a poor W2 D2 L8 record on their travels this season. They have failed to score in a third of their away games so far and they have only scored first in four of their twelve away games. They have netted 14 goals in their 12 away games for the season but that’s not the real problem. The fact that they have conceded at an average of 2.4 goals per away game, is. There have been only two away clean sheets for them all season, but both of them have come in their last two away games.
