Recent respective form guides

Morecambe's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Shrimps have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Hereford United's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. Bulls have conceded 9 goals in these games, and only hit 2 in reply.

Morecambe see themselves just below half way in the Npower League Two, showing a record of 50 points from their 43 games played so far,

Hereford United find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 50 points from their 43 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Morecambe at home in recent games, and, though we cannot see a run starting here, we do think the Shrimps will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
