Morecambe v Carlisle United Odds & Match Preview
Kick-off: 7pm UK Time, Tuesday 12th November 2024
Morecambe have made it out of the group stages of this season’s EFL Trophy and tonight they do battle with already-eliminated Carlisle United in their final Northern Group C outing.
Confidence boosted
Morecambe head into their final EFL Trophy group match on the back of successive victories, having brushed aside Worthing to the tune of 2-0 in the FA Cup first round and beating Harrogate Town 2-1 in the league last time out. Derek Adams’ men remain at the foot of the League Two table with a mere ten points collected from 15 matches and nine defeats coming their way during that time, however these back-to-back wins will have boosted confidence somewhat. The Shrimps have also collected six points from their last two EFL Trophy outings with a 2-1 win over Wigan Athletic and a 4-2 victory over Nottingham Forest U21s, however tonight they will face a Carlisle United side against which they have lost twice in their last three meetings.
Much-needed win
Carlisle dropped down from League One at the end of last season and they too are having a tough time of things in the fourth tier, the Cumbrians sitting on eleven points in 23rd position in the League Two table after fifteen rounds of fixtures. Indeed, the Cumbrians have lost more league games than any other side in the division this season and while they registered a much-needed win away to Salford on Saturday afternoon, Mike Williamson’s men – along with tonight’s opponents Morecambe – are one of the two favourites for relegation to the National league this term.
Main focus
Having lost to Wigan and Nottingham Forest U21s, Carlisle have already been eliminated from the tournament and their main focus now will be on their league campaign. Morecambe have been boosted by their two recent wins however and they will look to carry on the momentum on home soil this evening, therefore we’ll be siding with them to edge their way to another victory here.
Back Morecambe to win at best odds of 7/5
