Morecambe vs Bury Predictions

The battle for survival in League Two is looking pretty lively at the moment with plenty of teams involved and both sides in the bottom two perfectly capable of overturning the gap in order to secure their spot for next season. One side who are right in that mix is Morecambe, and although they will be hoping to avoid a return to the National League, they know that three points against in-form Bury this weekend will go a long way towards achieving that goal.

Morecambe are only two points off the drop-zone and are without a win in seven games, not including Saturday’s postponed game at Oldham. The Shrimps are now veterans in the battle for safety after being involved in relegation battles frequently over the last few seasons, but many pundits have predicted that this season is the one which finally spells an end to their Football League status. The hosts are one of the most out of form sides in the division at the moment and with a leaky defence to boot, it is hard to make a case for them to reverse their fortunes this weekend.

Bury’s seven-game unbeaten run has carried them up to third but after a dramatic 3-3 draw with leaders Lincoln they were held by Crawley. Despite those back to back stalemates, the visitors still come into this match in excellent form and they are well in the hunt for the League Two title. If they are to accomplish their goal of top spot, then an attack which tops the division’s goalscoring charts and has scored 23 goals in their last eight matches will no doubt play a pivotal role.

The form of these two sides going into this match makes it pretty clear that the only way to go in this fixture is with an away win. The two sides find themselves at opposite ends of the table, not only in terms of points earned, but also in indicators such as goals scored and goals conceded. With this in mind, backing Bury to earn the three points is where we shall be placing our money.
