There is a glimmer of hope for Morecambe it would seem as they have landed back to back league wins to keep a nice cushion between themselves and the drop zone (seven points). They just need to continue to build on that and they could have a chance against Stevenage who are carrying with them some pretty abysmal away form into this one.

StevenageMorecambe Form
The Shrimps can give themselves a pat on the back for having put together back to back wins for the first time this season. Victories over Yeovil and Grimsby have seen Morecambe give themselves a little bit of breathing space now from the drop zone. They needed that. For most of the season they have been really short on producing goals, but they have put together a five-match scoring streak now, which perhaps not too surprisingly has coincided with their defence shipping eleven goals in their last five games. Morecambe have won two of their last three on home soil in the division and one of those was over the strong Coventry as well. Their home form reads W5 D2 L6 for the season while they have just about managed over a goal per game at the Globe Arena with fourteen goals in thirteen games.
Stevenage Form
Stevenage took a 4-1 home win over Cheltenham on January 1st and that was important as it snapped a two-match losing streak that they had put together over Christmas. Stevenage have very good home form this season of W6 D5 L2 and are unbeaten in their last five home games, winning their last two. However, looking at their away form, it is a totally different story. They are on a horrendous eight-match losing streak on their travels and in that sequence, they have scored two goals and that’s it. Four of those seven defeats saw Stevenage concede at least two goals and overall they are W3 D1 L9 away from home this season. They have scored just nine times on their travels and it’s hard to back them on the road.
Head to Head News
There was a 2-1 success for Stevenage when the two clashed in the league back in September and that leaves them up in recent League Two head to head. Stevenage are W5 D3 L1 in their nine previous League Two games against the Shrimps. They have won their last two visits to the Globe Arena.
