Barnet vs Morecambe Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Preview

Barnet will have to show some real character after they were put to the sword by title favourites Portsmouth on Saturday. The Bees travelled to the south coast boasting one of the strongest defensive records in the division but they were blown away by Pompey and, even though they managed to claim an early lead, they were powerless to resist the force of the opposition attack. That result has sent them plummeting down the table and after their eight fixtures they currently sit in 17th position with 10 points on the board.

Morecambe will feel unlucky not to take anything from the visit of Crawley at the weekend as they narrowly missed out in a five goal thriller. One thing Jim Bentley will know, however, is that his side have been excellent on the road this season and they boast a record that is the joint best in the division. The Shrimps have had an excellent start to the season and after their opening nine fixtures they have amassed 15 points, a tally that is enough to put them in seventh position.

Given that Morecambe have been so impressive on their travels and Barnet’s confidence will have taken a hit from their weekend’s exploits, we are a little surprised at the pricing structure on this one. We intend to take advantage of this and we feel that a safe Morecambe double chance bet at 10/11 represents the best value. For our correct score tip we think a 2-1 away win looks appealing at 12/1.
