Forest Green
Morecambe FCForest Green Form
Having surprisingly taken back to back away wins at Coventry and Stevenage, things are looking a little brighter for Rovers after a shocking nine-match winless streak (D2 L7) that they were on. Each of the last eight points that they have collected in the division though have all been out on the road leaving some poor reading still for their home form. They have lost their last five home games and overall have a W1 D1 L5 record at the New Lawn this season. They have yet to earn a clean sheet on home soil and over half of their home fixtures this season have seen four or more goals in them.
Morecambe Form
Morecambe are right there in the thick of things with Forest Green near the foot of the table. They have just had mixed fortunes with a W3 D5 L7 record this season and have picked up just the one win in their last seven league games. That win happened out on the road at bottom side Chesterfield in mid-October. That’s the only away win that the Shrimps have recorded this season. They have not scored a goal in the opening fifteen minutes of any league match this season and overall with just a twelve goal haul, they are the lowest scorers in League Two at the moment.
Head to Head News
Morecambe have won three of their last four visits to Forest Green (L1). This is the first meeting between them after being together in the 2006/07 Conference. Morecambe took four points from that. Looking back at the head to head form, Morecambe have scored at least three goals in five of their last seven matches against Rovers.
Top Betting Tips
Forest Green have more appeal in this one even though they have no home form. They have to have been really buoyed from back to back to back away wins, but that niggling home form probably just leans this instead towards a draw. Morecambe would be happy enough with that, keeping them out of the bottom two.
