Scunthorpe vs Morecambe Predictions — over 2.5 goals
Morecambe are having a nightmare start, losing seven of their first 11 games and sitting rock bottom.
They’re leaking goals too — around 3.4 per away game!
Scunthorpe are flying higher, and when they win, it’s usually a goal fest — over 2.5 goals has landed in six of their seven league victories.
Looks like another tough afternoon for the visitors.
Form Guide
Morecambe’s season’s been messy right from the off, with all that off-field drama over the summer clearly still hanging over them. They’ve only managed a few positive results and already have seven defeats in 11 games, which explains why they’re stuck at the bottom.
On the road, it’s been even worse. They’ve let in three or more goals in four of their five away matches, losing three of those. It’s not looking good as they head to face a Scunthorpe team sitting fifth and full of confidence after winning seven of their first 12.
Head-to-Head
Scunthorpe love playing against struggling sides — they’ve beaten all three of the bottom seven they’ve faced so far. In fact, they’ve scored two or more in every one of those wins, and six of their seven victories this season have gone over the 2.5 goals mark.
They smashed Truro 4-0 and edged Sutton 3-2 recently — both bottom sides — with Danny Whitehall getting on the scoresheet in each.
Team News
No major changes expected for Scunthorpe, who’ll probably stick with the same attacking setup that’s been getting results.
Morecambe, on the other hand, might tweak their backline again after another leaky display last weekend. The squad’s looking thin and confidence is low.
Players to Watch
Danny Whitehall is the man in form for the hosts — six goals already this season, and he looks a real handful for struggling defenses. For Morecambe, it’s hard to pick anyone shining right now, but Ethan Walker has shown a few sparks up front.
Prediction
Scunthorpe should be way too strong here. With Morecambe’s defense all over the place, this could be another high-scoring win for the hosts.
Prediction: Scunthorpe 3-1 Morecambe
