Morecambe, Recent FormThe Morecambe squad will want to put the 4-0 away thrashing they received from Ipswich Town firmly behind them and may also need to find something to boost their confidence levels as a consequence.
It seems pretty certain that Derek Adams will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have produced a defensive record this season that they won't be proud of, having conceded at least 1 goal in 22 of their 26 league matches.
They have been performing well at Mazuma Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.
On an individual basis, Jensen Weir has scored in each of Morecambe's last 3 league games.
Bristol Rovers, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Bristol Rovers players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Accrington Stanley.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 10 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 11 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. Having shipped at least a single goal in 22 of their 27 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home.
On an individual basis, Josh Coburn will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Bristol Rovers' last 6 league games.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
The Pirates will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Morecambe having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 6 meetings. When Bristol visit The Shrimps in the league, goals tend to happen, with 6 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2 goals per match.
In their last 4 league meetings, Morecambe have failed to record a victory against Bristol.
With no real injury worries, Morecambe manager Derek Adams will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Bristol manager Joey Barton has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
