Oxford United to pick up a victory

Morecambe will be a relatively easier opponent.

Oxford had already registered a big win over opponent earlier in the campaign.

Morecambe have the worst defence in the league by a significant margin with 79 goals conceded in the 40 league matches. Even in the last few games, the team has been shipping over 2.5 goals quite easily. Despite the recent clean sheet against Burton Albion, Morecambe’s defence would make for a high-scoring feature.

Both teams to score – yes

Morecambe have been able to get at least a goal in four out of the last five matches. Despite the poor form shown by the defence throughout the campaign, Morecambe will be satisfied with this aspect. Oxford also have just one clean sheet in the last five.
