Morecambe vs Tranmere Predictions

Morecambe beat managerless Tranmere 2-1 in the first leg of the playoffs. Tranmere are in terrible form and look low on confidence.

I am backing BTTS and a Morecambe win at the Mazuma Stadium.

Morecambe have won 6 of their last 7 matches (League Two)
Morecambe have seen BTTS in 7 of their last 10 home matches (League Two)
Morecambe have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 5 matches against Tranmere (League Two)
Tranmere have lost 2-1 in 2 of their last 3 matches (League Two)
Tranmere have lost 3 of their last 5 away matches (League Two)

Head-to-Head

Tranmere have a 5-3 advantage against Morecambe in nine meetings with one draw.

Morecambe's 2-1 first-leg victory was their second win against Tranmere in their last three meetings.

Morecambe Form

Morecambe extended their winning streak to three matches following their playoff win against Tranmere.

Nathaniel Knight-Percival scored on 15 minutes and Tranmere equalised minutes later. Morecambe had 25% possession and looked dangerous on the counter-attack, with Liam McAlinden scoring the winner before halftime.

Derek Adams’ side have won six of their last seven matches in League Two. Impressive late form saw them mount a late challenge for the automatic promotion places.

The Shrimps have also won four of their last six at home but rarely keep clean sheets. They have conceded in 12 of their last 15 home matches in League Two.

Morecambe Injuries & Team News

Full-back Stephen Hendrie is doubtful after coming off with an injury in the first leg.

Winger John O’Sullivan and striker Jordan Slew are ruled out with long-term injuries.

Tranmere Form

Tranmere’s 2-1 defeat to Morecambe extended their winless run to three matches. A 2-1 away loss at Forest Green came before a final day 0-0 draw with Colchester.

The Wirral side were dominant against Morecambe and Peter Clarke cancelled out Morecambe’s early opener. Despite 75% possession and 17 shots, Tranmere conceded before halftime and couldn’t break down Morecambe's rigid defence.

A poor run of two wins in 12 League Two matches led to Keith Hill’s sacking a week before the playoffs.

Tranmere have also been in poor form away, losing three of their last five on the road, including a heavy 4-0 defeat against Cheltenham.

Tranmere Injuries & Team News

Tranmere have no injuries or suspensions ahead of the second leg.
