Swindon vs Morecambe Predictions

Expectations at the start of the season are a funny thing as most people will have a vague idea as to where certain sides will finish at the end of the campaign, however, in order to accomplish these goals, a strong start to the season is essential. This weekend sees a meeting between two sides who are widely expected to find themselves at opposite ends of the table as promotion hopefuls Swindon Town welcome relegation candidates Morecambe to the County Ground.

Swindon started the season in the strongest possible manner as they recorded back to back victories, but since then they have struggled to get over the line and their next three matches has seen the side claim just two points. The promotion hopefuls will know that they need to tighten up at the back if they are to get back on track as they have conceded six times in their last four matches, and with a 3-0 defeat in the first round of the Carabao Cup also fresh in the memory, they know that three points this weekend will go a long way to putting them back into the mix.

Making the trip to the County Ground is a Morecambe side who we have tipped to suffer relegation this season, and there early season form certainly suggests they are in for a battle to prove us wrong this season. The visitors claimed a win over Macclesfield but that is there only victory of the season so far and they know that they need to go on a strong run of results in order to give them as much room as possible over the bottom two.

The hosts are undoubtedly the stronger side in this fixture and they should be winning this fixture with something to spare. The head to head record is weighted heavily in their favour and given that they have only conceded in one of the previous seven meetings between these two sides suggests to us that backing a home win is a pretty safe bet.
