Recent respective form guides
Morecambe's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Shrimps have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Chesterfield's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Spireites have hit 5 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Morecambe find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 7 points from their 8 matches. Chesterfield see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 9 points from their 8 games played so far,

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