Morecambe vs Hartlepool: Top Free Betting Tips

Morecambe and Hartlepool will be fighting for the top spot in this group and this game could decide the winner. Here are our predictions.

Over 2.5 Goals

Hartlepool and Morecambe were in the same group of the EFL Trophy in the previous season as well but had completely different performances back then. The important fact is that the match ended in a 2:2 draw at regular time and 3:2 for Hartlepool after penalties. The teams have otherwise not played against each other in a while but four out of five games between them ended with more than 2.5 goals.

Both Teams To Score – Yes

For now, these are the two better teams in this group of the EFL and both won their first games, so this game could decide the winner of this particular group. Four out of five games between these two teams also ended with both teams scoring, although most were at least four years ago. Both sides have been struggling in their respective leagues this season, so both sides have weak defenses and we expect them to concede.

Morecambe To Win

Hartlepool won the EFL Trophy game between these two teams last season and we think that this year, it will be the opposite case. Both sides have been struggling in their matches in the regular league but Hartlepool have generally been much worse and still do not have a single win in their season. We expect a goal-packed game and a win with 2:1 or 3:2 for Morecambe this time.

Morecambe vs Hartlepool: Form, Recent Games, and News

Morecambe Preview

Morecambe got promoted to League One two seasons ago but their experience in this particular tier has not been successful. They were one of the weakest teams last season but escaped relegation. In the current campaign, they are in bigger danger already as they had a terrible season start. They have a single win in 9 games and a goal difference of 9:16. Obviously, the defense is the biggest issue with the team.

Hartlepool Preview

Hartlepool are a complicated side. For a good period of last season, it seemed like they have the potential to reach the League Two playoffs and compete for promotion to League One. Then, however, they fell out of shape and it has continued until now. After nine rounds in League Two this year, the team does not have a single win yet and they have to improve as soon as possible. Their goal difference is even worse – 6:17.
