Bury vs Morecambe Predictions

Bury in 19^th take on Morecambe in 22^nd in a crucial League Two clash at Gigg Lane on Saturday. The Shakers have carried the form that saw them relegated from League One last season into a fresh campaign in 2018/10, though Ryan Lowe’s men are starting to show some signs of life.

Bury actually won their opening game of the season at the expense of Yeovil Town, beating them 1-0 on the first weekend of the League Two season thanks to a last-gasp goal from Gold Omotayo.

It’s ironic that after the euphoria of an 89^th minute winner on the first day, late goals would later prove to be Bury’s undoing in so many of their fixtures. The Shakers went down to an injury time goal straight after their Yeovil win, slipping to a narrow 0-1 loss to MK Dons.

In the Carabao Cup, Nottingham Forest repeated the trick, bagging a stoppage time equalizer to deny Bury a famous scalp. The Reds eventually went on to win on penalties.  Lady Luck smiled on Bury again in their next League Two fixture, when William Aimson equalized in added time against Forest Green.

Bury then lost to two goals in the last fifteen minutes at Lincoln and followed that up by conceding twice in the last nine minutes to lose 3-2 at Crawley Town. If you are looking for late drama, then it seems the Shakers are the team for you.

The late defeats have kept Bury within the reach of the relegation zone’s tentacles, but they are at least coming close to picking up points. A fixture against struggling Morecambe Town represents the ideal opportunity to finally get another win on the board.

Morecambe have lost four of their five League Two matches so far and five of their six competitive fixtures in total since the new season got under way. On the road, the Shrimps have lost two out of two, conceded seven and have yet to register a goal.

Having avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth last season, Morecambe haven’t shown any signs of improvement in 2018/19. With that in mind, we are tipping Bury to secure their second League Two victory of the season at Gigg Lane.

The Shakers only clean sheet so far in any competition came all the way back on match day one against Yeovil, so we expect Morecambe to get a goal this week. Therefore, we recommend you take the Bury win & both teams to score option.

71% of all the goals scored in matches involving Bury this season were registered in the second half of their games. As we detailed earlier, late goals are a common occurrence in Bury’s fixtures. That makes Half With Most Goals market well worth considering and we are backing the second forty five to see the most action again this weekend. Our correct score prediction forecasts a 3-1 win for Bury.
