In the upcoming League 2 tour, "Morecambe" and "Wimbledon" will face off at the "Cherry Red Records" stadium.
The team spent 6 years in League 1, but they ended up in 23rd place in the 2021/2022 season and fell into League 2. Last year, they narrowly avoided relegation to the National League, finishing 21st. Now, they're doing significantly better, currently sitting 10th in the league table.
After a defeat by "Milton Keynes" (1:3), they managed a win over "Mansfield Town" (2:1). This was followed by a goalless draw against "Bradford City". In the next round, they secured a victory over "Barrow" (2:1). However, in their latest match, "Wimbledon" faced defeat against "Accrington" (0:2).
"The Shrimps" spent a long time in the fourth division. Finally, in the 20/21 season, they made it into League 1. However, they didn't fare particularly well and were relegated last season after landing in 22nd place. Currently, the team sits 11th in the league table.
After an away win against "Milton Keynes" (2:1), "The Shrimps" suffered a minimal defeat to "Colchester". But in the next round, they bested "Crawley Town" on the road (2:1). This was followed by a victory over "Sutton United" (1:0). And in their most recent match, they managed another away win over "Tranmere" (3:2).
The last head-to-head match between "Morecambe" and "Wimbledon" was played on October 28, 2023, and ended with a scoreline of (4:1) in favour of "The Shrimps".
It's quite challenging to call a sure winner of this match, as "Morecambe" has a streak of 3 consecutive away wins, and "Wimbledon" has won their last 3 home matches. Considering that "Morecambe" often scores away while conceding quite a bit, I think "Both Teams to Score" would be a sensible bet for this matchup.
Both teams have shown decent scoring output in recent tours, hence, I'd recommend betting on total over 2.5.
