Morecambe
- Morecambe have failed to win any of their last five National League games (D2, L3) and have lost consecutive matches.
- Morecambe have also failed to win their last two home National League fixtures and the Shrimps’ home record reads won three, drawn three, lost eight from 14 matches.
- However, Morecambe have a clear focal point in Admiral Muskwe, who has scored five goals in 17 National League appearances, including two of Morecambe’s last three.
- He’ll look to capitalize on any defensive lapses on Saturday.
Truro City
- This matchup will be a test of Truro City’s National League metal, with the visitors looking to build on their 5-0 victory in the same fixture four months ago.
- John Askey’s side have also endured an extremely poor run of form, failing to pick up a win in any of their last five (D4, L1).
- John Askey has implemented his typically high-pressing style at Truro City since their promotion to the National League, and his side will look to outplay Morecambe in a high-octane 4-3-3 system.
Head-to-Head
Truro City FC thrashed Morecambe 5-0 in their last head-to-head National League clash four months ago.
Key Players
- Truro’s Dominic Johnson-Fisher has been their best bet up top this term, scoring four goals in 26 National League outings.
- Morecambe have scored 17 goals in their 14 home National League outings and Truro average just 0.50 goals per away fixture.
- Truro have conceded an average of 2.43 goals per away match and Morecambe should have enough quality to score at least once against them.
Betting Insights
- The Over 2.5 goals option at 1.81 is tempting given Truro’s porous defense on the road.
- With the odds at 2.1 for Morecambe and 3.22 for Truro City, both are quite tempting.
Prediction
I’m going to stick with the home team for the win here, expecting a scrappy, close victory for Morecambe.
