Morecambe Preview – Can Morecambe avoid third loss on trot?
After making a promising start to this new domestic season, Tuesday’s hosts, Morecambe, will be looking to avoid a third defeat on the trot when they welcome Preston North End for this all-Lancashire affair in the 2nd round of the League Cup.
Morecambe had earlier picked up a point in a 2-2 draw away from home at Ipswich Town and followed that with a 2-0 home win over Shrewsbury Town but recent back-to-back defeats in League One against Rotherham United and Gillingham have set the hosts back.
The Shrimpers have also struggled in the League Cup as the hosts have managed to win just three of their previous nine ties at home, losing the other six.
Preston NE Preview – Can Preston continue dominance?
It’s been a mixed start to this new season for Preston North End who have progressed through to this 2nd round of the League Cup thanks to a 3-0 win away from home against League Two outfit, Mansfield Town, while also picking up a 1-0 home win over Peterborough United in the Championship on the weekend.
However, in between times, Preston have suffered back-to-back defeats in the second tier to Reading and Huddersfield Town but this upcoming League Cup tie may be just the distraction that Preston need right now.
In addition, Preston have won their last four away ties on the trot in the League Cup and they may well fancy a fifth on the bounce here.
