Morecambe v Crewe Preview, Tips & Prediction

Morecambe host Crewe on Saturday afternoon at the Globa Arena with the visitors looking for a chance to leapfrog leaders Swindon at the top of the table. Read the Morecambe v Crewe match preview and predictions below.

Morecambe currently sit third bottom in League Two, 9 points ahead of rock-bottom Stevenage. Derek Adams’ side currently have the 2nd worst away record in the league which has contributed to their current league position. However, after a poor start to the season on home turf, they have now lost just 1 game in their last 10 at the Global Arena. Their recent run of form will give them some confidence going into Saturday’s match it it won’t be an easy game against a Crewe side who are just 2 points of the top of the table.

Crewe have now won 5 of their last 6 matches with their latest outing resulting in a 2-0 victory against 2nd-bottom Macclesfield. David Artell’s side have now lost just once in their last nine and have the League Two title in their sights.

Despite having the best home record in League Two so far this season, they only have the 6th best record on the road. Since mid-November, Crewe have struggled on their travels having managed just 2 wins in their last 10. Artell won’t accept anything other than maximum points on Saturday if his side are to be in with the chance of being league leaders come Saturday evening.

Morecambe v Crewe Prediction

League positions suggest a clear away victory on Saturday. However, Morecambe have found some form at home whereas Crewe have had a less than acceptable away record over the past couple of months. Morecambe have managed to find the net in their last 10 games and Crew have conceded in 9 of their last 10 on the road. Therefore, both teams to score seems like a good bet. Despite Crewe’s poor away results of late, we do expect them to come through in this game and are predicting a 2-1 away victory.
