There has still been no joy for Chesterfield as they remain rooted to the foot of the table after another league defeat last weekend. They are really starting to get cut adrift now and they are struggling and even a game against Morecambe doesn’t look that easy for them. Morecambe are dealing with issues of their own as a slump in form has seen them slip back towards the drop zone, having lost three of their last four played now. They had a high pressure home game against Crawley last weekend and couldn’t deliver. Chesterfield are 11/10 favourites to win this with Morecambe at 12/5.

Morecambe FCChesterfield Form
The stats just keep stacking up against Chesterfield because they are now on a five match losing streak in League Two. They went down 2-1 at Lincoln last weekend and it means that they have collected just the two points in their last nine league outings and remain with just the one win all season long. That win did happen at home though against Port Vale back in mid-August. Their overall home form reads W1 D1 L4 but are on a three match losing streak at the Proact Stadium. They have just the six goals in six home games.
Morecambe Form
The Shrimps are not faring much better than Chesterfield, as they have just the one point in their last four games and are just five points ahead of them, leaving them fourth from bottom. However, they do have five points in their last six games but have only gone D1 L3 in their last four. Defeniesley they are nowhere near the worst side in the bottom five of the table though, having shipped seven goals fewer than Chesterfield have done. Away from home, they are still searching for their first win after a W0 D3 L3 record. They have just the five away goals this season.
Head to Head News
The last time that these two went head to head was in the 2013/14 League One season and the two traded home wins on that occasion. Chesterfield have just the one win on home soil against Morecambe in a W1 D3 L3 record on home soil against the Shrimps. Overall in the head to head Morecambe are 5-2 ahead with six drawn matches.
Top Betting Tips
This has a draw written all over it. Both are lacking goals, but heading out on the road, Morecambe have the better defence of the two and should be able to hold on for a point that keeps the Spireites well behind them. Under 2.5 goals at 10bet looks a lock at even money.
