Morecambe vs Bolton Odds, Free Betting Tips & Predictions

These are our predictions and tips for this match:

Bolton to Win

Morecambe have lost all of their last 5 league games against teams sitting in the top 6. Also, the Shrimps lost 4 of their last 6 league games (W1 D1). To add to that, Bolton have never lost an official match against Morecambe in their history (W2 D3). That’s why our first Morecambe vs Bolton prediction is for the Trotters to get back to winning ways.

Under 2.5 Goals

Our next Morecambe vs Bolton prediction is for the game to have fewer than 3 total goals scored. Considering that all of the previous 5 matches between the sides had gone under 2.5 goals this seems logical. Also, Morecambe’s last 2 games had fewer than 3 goals in them.

BTTS – No

Our final Morecambe vs Bolton prediction is that not both teams will be able to score. Only 1 of Morecambe’s last 6 league games saw both teams scoring. Also, 5 of Bolton’s last 7 games didn’t see both teams scoring.

Morecambe vs Bolton Lineups, Analysis, and Latest Team News

Morecambe

Morecambe remain out of the relegation zone only thanks to their superior goal difference after suffering their fourth defeat in just the last 6 rounds when edged 0-1 on their visit to Fleetwood. The Shrimps once again failed to impress in attack and they have now scored a single goal in the last 4 rounds.

There are no long-term injury issues and the only player considered doubtful is striker Stockton. Even he could be passed fit on time so this would mean a fully-fit squad to choose from. Weir remains the main hope in attack with his 8 league goals. He has gone quiet lately though and has failed to score in any of the last 8 games.

Bolton

The Trotters come into the match after suffering back-to-back away league defeats. On Tuesday their defence was poor in Portsmouth and deserved 1-3 loss was the outcome. Bolton remain in a playoff position though and with everything to play for.

The options for rotation are limited with 7 players out injured right now. Among them 3 important squad members. Bolton’s defence is stretched right now with both Johnston and Iredale out injured. Also, the main anchor-man Williams is sidelined.

The main hope up front remains the ever-reliable top goalscorer Dion Charles. He’s been a constant source of goals this season and it is likely that pretty much all forward actions will be channelled through him once more.
