Tranmere vs Morecambe Predictions

• Tranmere are managerless and have won two of their last 11 games
• Morecambe have won five of their last six games

No Hill and a mountain to climb

Tranmere Rovers sacked Keith Hill after the final day of the season, despite the former Rochdale boss coming in mid-season and guiding Rovers to a playoff spot. Their end of season slump to seventh proved costly for Hill, but can the hosts bounce back from that?

The hosts have won just twice in their last 11 matches and even more worryingly they’ve notched just three goals in their last seven outings. That’s an awful record in comparison with Morecambe, who netted 15 goals across their final six League Two matches.

The visitors have won five of their last six league games and they should quickly recover from their final-day disappointment by continuing that run. While sides sometimes struggle after missing out on automatic promotion this Morecambe side are performing incredibly well on a modest budget and you’d rather be in their shoes than the struggling hosts.

For us, the value in this one lies with the visitors so our first prediction is a Morecambe win. Meanwhile, Tranmere’s lack of goals has us backing the visitors to win this first leg 1-0, with both meetings between these two sides finishing 1-0 to the away side.

• Morecambe netted 15 goals across their final six League Two matches.
• Eight of Tranmere’s last 10 League games and each of Morecambe’s last 3 have seen under 2.5 goals
