On Sat Nov 12th, in week 18, Portsmouth will travel to Morecambe to battle Morecambe in a League One match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 12 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Morecambe is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Sheffield Wednesday. Josh Windass scored the first goal for Sheffield Wednesday in the 29th minute, then Alex Mighten added another in the 65th minute In the end, Morecambe was frustrated by Sheffield Wednesday’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Sheffield Wednesday ended the match with the shutout victory. Morecambe looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10, while in their last match, Portsmouth recorded a 3-1 win against Hereford. Storey struck first for Hereford in the 26th minute, then Reeco Hackett-Fairchild got the equalizer for Portsmouth in the 33rd minute on a feed from Ronan Curtis Finally they completed the comback victory in the 64th minute on a goal by Colby Bishop to cap off a wild match. Portsmouth is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Portsmouth won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Colby Bishop has been the most effective weapon for Portsmouth lately. The English attacker has netted 2 goals in his last 5 matches. Keiran Phillips and Major are the top scorers for Morecambe in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
