Morecambe vs Hartlepool United Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

It’s two of the most out of form sides in the league coming head to head when Morecambe host Hartlepool this weekend and we think the visitors will be able to record a vital three points. Given their form however we feel it would be wise to add a bit of safety net, so we are adding the ‘Draw – No Bet’ option which is still available at 10/11 with bet365. For our correct score tip we can’t see much to split the sides and given the fixture has a history of goals, we think that a 2-1 away win is the way to go. This bet is available priced at 9/1 with the same site.

It’s been a miserable couple of months for Morecambe as they have now recorded seven defeats in a row in the league. Their record on home soil doesn’t make for pretty reading either as they have won just six of their 20 games this season and they have lost a massive 65% of matches at the Globe Arena. The Shrimps have a 10 point cushion over the drop zone with six games remaining so probably already have enough in the bank to avoid the drop.

Hartlepool’s position is looking a little more perilous than their hosts and they sit in 22nd in the league with just a five point cushion over the drop zone. Even though they go into this match on the back of three defeats on the spin they will be buoyed by the fact that those games were against some of the better sides in the division and they were hardly blown away. If they are to get anything at the weekend then they will have to improve on the worst away record in League Two, which has seen them claim just 16 points from their 20 games on their travels.

Dave Jones will also take heart in the fact that his Hartlepool side have an excellent record over Morecambe in the head to head. They have won each of the last four meetings between the sides and have also won in each of their three visits to the Globe Arena.
