Morecambe vs Bournemouth predictions, betting tips & match preview

Morecambe are likely to be quite unhappy with their match-up in the 2nd round of the League Cup. They would have wanted a side that they had a good chance to beat, or a big Premier League side with a lot of stars. Unfortunately for them, they face a Bournemouth side that will be a struggle for them, but we think they have a chance.

Morecambe have had a good start to the season, winning 3 and losing 1 of their first 4 games. They currently sit top of the League Two and will be quite pleased with their season so far. They also squeezed past Rotherham away from home in the first round of the League Cup, winning 5-4 in extra time.

Bournemouth have had the worst possible start to the new season, losing both of their opening 2 games. First they lost 3-1 at home against Manchester United, who never looked challenged. They also put up a mediocre performance against West Ham, losing 1-0 after the sending off of Harry Arter.

We think that the game will be quite close and a bet of Morecambe +1.5 Asian Handicap at 1.825 looks good value. Our score prediction is a 2-1 win for Bournemouth.
