Fleetwood vs Morecambe Odds

Fleetwood are the favourites to take home all three points in this contest at 8/13, whereas the visitors are 9/2 to claim their first league victory of the campaign.

The draw provides odds of 3/1, while over 2.5 goals in the match can be backed at 5/6.

Team News

Fleetwood head coach Charlie Adam will be without Zach Medley, with the defender still recovering from the injury sustained in the goalless draw with Gillingham last month.

Harrison Holgate is also unlikely to feature after he picked up a knock against Stoke in midweek, however Danny Mayor - who scored twice in the 3-2 win over Carlisle just over a week ago - is expected to keep his place in the starting XI.

Morecambe boss Derek Adams also has a few selection headaches to deal with as the injured duo of Saul Fox-Akande and Charlie Brown and the suspended Luke Hendrie are all unavailable.

Ben Tollitt and Callum Jones both got on the scoresheet in the 3-3 draw with Colchester last time out and both are expected to keep their places in the starting line-up.

Fleetwood to win & under 2.5 total goals @ 13/5

Fleetwood are yet to either lose or concede a goal at their Highbury Stadium home in League Two this season and this form in front of their own fans should help them to edge out a Morecambe side still without a win.

While the Shrimps have lost five matches in the fourth tier, each of these losses have been via a 1-0 scoreline and so, should the Fishermen claim their third league win of the season, it is unlikely to be by a comfortable margin.

Ronan Coughlan to score anytime @ 7/4

While Mayor may be leading the way in terms of goals for Fleetwood in League Two this season with two, our goalscorer tip leans towards 28-year-old Irishman Ronan Coughlan.

The former Waterford man has registered three shots on target in League Two this season - the joint most of anyone in the Fleetwood squad.

He opened his account in the 3-2 win over Carlisle in their most recent fourth tier fixture, so he may be full of confidence heading into this encounter.
