Morecambe face a trip to Halifax Town at The Shay on Tuesday evening, looking to break their duck against the hosts. Half the previous contests have ended with a drawn game, but unfortunately the other half have ended in a defeat for the Shrimps.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2002, the Shaymen carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Conference match.

Recent respective form guides
Halifax Town's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Shaymen have scored 10, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
Morecambe's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. Those games have seen the Shrimps pummel 16 goals, and let in 8.
Halifax's 1 points from 1 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 8th position. Morecambe's total of 3 points from their 1 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Nationwide Conference.
