Having collected three wins from their last four matches in all competitions, Wednesday night’s hosts Halifax will be in confident mood as they prepare for this upcoming visit of relegation threatened Morecambe when the two sides meet at The Shay.
Recent victories gained at the expense of Tamworth and Boston United along with a 4-0 romp against Anstey in the FA Trophy will no doubt give Adam Lakeland’s side a welcome boost as the hosts look to lift themselves up into the play-off pack in the National League table with all three points here.
The Shaymen also hold a pretty solid record on home soil at The Shay as the hosts possess an overall home record which stands at 7-4-2 27/15 and they are the fourth highest goalscorers at home in the division to date.
Morecambe by contrast find themselves sitting third from bottom in the National League table and four points adrift of safety ahead of this tough looking trip to The Shay to take on high-flying Halifax, their task being hampered by a winless four-game stretch.
Defeats in the National League to Rochdale and Carlisle United were further exacerbated with a heavy 6-2 loss away from home at Kidderminster in the FA Trophy, so Ashvir Singh Johal’s side may well be bracing themselves for a tough evening at the office on Wednesday night.
Indeed, Morecambe possess a poor looking away record which stands at 2-3-8 16/29 which includes holding the fourth-worst defensive record away from home in the division, so the prospects are not looking good for the visitors in this encounter.
The Betting Verdict
Halifax have won three of the previous four meetings against Morecambe.
The Pick :
Halifax 2-1 Morecambe
