The Shrimps are in shallow waters as of now and they will need some luck to stay in League Two next season too.

The reason why they are just 4 points above the relegation zone is their below par defense. The team from Morecambe has given away 44 goals while scoring 28 in return. Half of their 28 games this league season were defeats and only 7 matches were won.

The Seasiders are without a win in the last 4 games in the league of which 2 were defeats against Tranmere and Carlisle. Their last win was against Cambridge United in December 2018. Less than 2.5 goals came in 3 of their 5 previous matches.

From the last 6 games, they played three were wins and the same number of losses were also recorded. The Boro are on a 2 match losing streak away from home and they have won only one in their last 5 matches on the road also.
