Morecambe Preview – Can Shrimps return to winning ways?
It’s the battle of The Shrimps versus The Shrimpers as Morecambe play host to Southend United no doubt looking to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat away from home at Cambridge United last time out in League Two and the hosts stand a decent chance as form at home has been generally very steady.
Morecambe have won four of their last seven matches in the fourth tier while their record at the Globe Arena stands at a very reasonable looking 10-4-4 27/21 which includes winning four of their last five matches at home.
Victories over Salford City, Crawley Town, Carlisle United and Cheltenham Town have not only kept Morecambe in the play-off pack but another win here on Tuesday night would see the hosts jump into the top three and one of the automatic promotion spots.
Southend United Preview – Can Southend reduce deficit?
Six points separate second from bottom outfit, Southend United, from third from bottom club Colchester United and safety but although a win at Morecambe would slash the deficit in half, the chances of an away win here do seem remote as Southend have won just once in their last nine matches.
That rare success came in the shape of a 1-0 win away at Harrogate Town but having failed to score in seven of these last nine matches as well, The Shrimpers look to have their work cut out against an in-form Morecambe side in their own backyard.
Southend have lost just once in their last seven matches away from home though which gives the visitors a glimmer of hope here but their recent record against Morecambe is a poor one as their hosts have won the last four meetings on the trot.
