Blackpool vs Morecambe Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Morecambe once again seem to be massively mis-priced by bet365 at 4/1 to take all three points from Bloomfield Road when they make the short journey down the M6 this weekend, but we are going to play things a little safer and use the big odds offered on the double chance option at 13/10 with the same site. For our correct score tip we are backing the Shrimps to make it a hat-trick of 2-1 victories over their Lancashire rivals, which is available at 14/1 with the same site.

It’s been well publicised that Blackpool have had a difficult couple of years as the relationship between the Oyston family who owns the club and the clubs fans broke down. Recent results will be doing nothing to ease those tensions, as the Tangerines as without a win in their previous seven home games and having previously been in contention for a play-off place they now find themselves firmly in mid-table.

Portsmouth were as short as 1/3 to beat Morecambe on Tuesday night and after Jim Bentley’s side claimed a point in that game we are a little surprised to see a similar situation for this weekend. It’s not as if they are in bad form either, as with just one defeat in their previous eight games they are the fourth most in-form side in the entire division. They also boast an excellent away record which doesn’t seem to fit their current league position and they have won an impressive 41% of their away games.
