Morecambe play host to Rushden & Diamonds at Christie Park on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Shrimps are clearly on top, with a 60.00% success rate in the fixture.
The last time the two teams met at Morecambe was back in October 2000, over five years ago, the Shrimps carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Conference match.

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 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.
Rushden & D.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
Morecambe's 16 points from 12 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Rushden & D.'s 15 points from 12 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.

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
