Morecambe, Recent FormMorecambe will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their away fixture against MK Dons.
Supremo Ged Brannan will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 14 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 8 goals they've managed to net. Of the 18 games they have played at home this season, they have scored in 12 of them, but they've conceded at least one goal in 21 of their 26 games both home and away.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at Mazuma Stadium, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 5 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Colchester United, Recent FormIt's fair to say Colchester United will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Bradford City, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 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. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 13 games overall.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
On an individual basis, Samson Tovide will be looking to cause Morecambe some problems having scored 2 goals in Colchester United's last 6 away games in the league.
Morecambe recorded a 1-3 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Goals should be on the cards for Morecambe in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against The U's in their last 5 meetings together.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Morecambe has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Colchester in 6 games.
With no real injury worries, Morecambe manager Ged Brannan will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Colchester manager Danny Cowley has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
