History of the Morecambe v York City fixture

Morecambe play host to York City at Christie Park on Tuesday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Out of their two previous meetings, the Shrimps have drawn one game and lost the other.

The last time the two teams met at Morecambe was well over fifteen years ago, back in November 1985, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a F.A. Cup match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its not been a very profitable last few weeks for Morecambe, and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. Score draw
