In the upcoming League 2 round, Morecambe and Gillingham will collide at the Mazuma Stadium.
The Shrimps spent a great portion of their history in the fourth division. Finally, they ascended to League 1 in the 20/21 season. Unfortunately, the performance didn't live up to expectations, and they were relegated last season, finishing 22nd. Currently, the team sits in 12th place in the league table. After an away triumph against Crewe Alexandra with a 3:2 scoreline, they managed a slim victory against Grimsby Town.
However, in the following round, the lads suffered a 1:3 defeat against Wrexham. Subsequently, Morecambe endured a high-scoring defeat at the hands of Newport County (3:5). And in their latest fixture, they fell to Salford City with a 1:3 scoreline.
Gillingham has been sticking around League 1 for several years in a row, but two seasons ago, they descended to League 2. Since then, opportunities to regain their top-flight status have been scant with a 17th place finish in the league last season. However, the tide has turned, and the Gills are now seated in 10th place.
After an away victory against Salford City (2:0), the squad suffered a defeat against Barrow (0:2). The following match witnessed a stalemate against Tranmere Rovers (1:1). Subsequently, the lads fell to AFC Wimbledon with a 0:2 scoreline. In their last game, they held Grimsby Town to a draw (1:1).
The last head-to-head match between Morecambe and Gillingham was played on 16th September 2023 and ended with a 2:1 victory for Gillingham.
Morecambe has been experiencing a downturn, suffering three consecutive losses. Nonetheless, they perform fairly well at home. Gillingham, on the other hand, doesn't reflect the same resilience on the road. Hence, I would still consider an Asian Handicap 0 in favour of the hosts.
I expect the teams to produce a lively encounter, thus suggesting a wager on Over 2.5 total goals.
