On the 22nd of October, in this week 16 match, Morecambe and Barnsley will play a match in Morecambe in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched League One teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. 24th placed Morecambe is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Burton Albion. Davis Keillor-Dunn scored the first goal for Burton Albion in the 30th minute, then Ryan Delaney got the equalizer for Morecambe in the 77th minute on a feed from Liam Shaw earning Morecambe at least a draw. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 6 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Barnsley recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Bolton Wanderers. Neither Bolton Wanderers nor Barnsley could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 7 and 6 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. Barnsley should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season.
Barnsley’s top weapon lately has been Devante Cole, who has three goals in the last five matches. Morecambe’s most prolific scorer has been Keiran Phillips. The English attacker has netted two goals over the last five matches.
