Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Morecambe to win either half: YES — 1.80
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Draw either half: YES — 1.46
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Total goals: Over 2.5 — 1.99
Although both teams are struggling in the relegation zone, Morecambe have a better chance of winning in at least one half, thanks to their recent form. Morecambe have won three of their last five league games, hence they head into this game in decent confidence.
Because both teams have struggled in the final third this season, there’s a chance at least one half could end in a draw. In addition, the first half of Forest Green Rovers’ last game ended in a draw.
There’s a chance this game could produce at least three goals because Morecambe’s last three games ended with over 2.5 goals while three of Forest Green Rovers’ last five games ended with over 2.5 goals.
Morecambe are gradually pulling themselves off the relegation zone after three wins in their last five League One matches. They recorded a resounding 5-1 win over Bristol Rovers at home last month but were brought back to earth after a 5-0 defeat to Derby County last weekend. Morecambe are occupying 21st position with 27 points after 28 games.
They are at the bottom of the League One table after a string of poor performances. Forest Green lost four and drawn one in their last five league matches. Because they last won a game on December 3rd, Forest Green Rovers are the favourites to get relegated to the National League unless they turn their season around starting from this weekend. They occupy the 24th position with 21 points after 30 matches.
Morecambe are likely to win this game 3-1 because they have won three of their last five League One matches while Forest Green Rovers have lost four and drawn one in their last five league games.
Morecambe are the favourites to win this game but it wouldn’t be an easy game because both teams are eager to get off the danger zone.
I’d back Morecambe to avoid a defeat to Forest Green Rovers.
