It’s been the curse of the blog for Football League betting advisor George Sandford (@EuroEliteFL) of late. Last week’s tweeted BTTS treble and Plymouth selections came flying in at respective odds of 4/1 and 9/5, only for Bury’s late demise to put a dent in some serious profit.

Moving onto this week’s fixture list and I’ll be wasting no time in shouting about Morecambe‘s credentials at a rather inviting 10/3 (Bet365) away at AFC Wimbledon. The Shrimps have won 4 out of their last 5 on their travels and have contributed 11 of their 17 points from fixtures away from home.

What has impressed me most about this run of form is the depleted squad with which manager Jim Bentley has had to deal with, only being able to name 6 substitutes in their victory at Carlisle. That looks set to change this weekend with key first team players Adam Dugdale (8 apps), Aaron Wildig (10 apps 2 goals) and Andy Fleming (10 apps 2 goals) all likely to make a return.

Morecambe’s 3-2 victory over Carlisle last weekend screamed of a side in full goalscoring flow, with Hull City youth graduate Jamie Devitt (9 assists in 14/15) pulling the strings in midfield. Devitt’s vision, creativity and killer final ball meant that The Shrimps looked dangerous going forward at every opportunity and also provided a goalscoring threat himself, twice forcing fine saves out of the keeper from 20 yards out. Check out the video below at 2:46, 3:35, 4:12, 5:20, 5:31, 6:29, 6:36, 7:04 & 7:28 for a flavour of the quality that Devitt provides in the final third as well as on the counter-attack, notching up two effortless assists with opportunities for plenty more.

Also coming into the weekend’s fixture full of confidence are strike partnership Tom Barkhuizen (4 goals in 5) and Shaun Miller (4 goals in 3) – their pace and clinical finishing in front of goal of late surely boding well for another instalment of goals on the road. Morecambe have scored 2+ goals 4 out of 6 times away from home yet are offered at a generous 5/2 (Betfred) to achieve the same feat, complimented nicely with a colossal 9/1(Bet365) offering on the Shrimps scoring 3+ goals, which has occurred in half of their away games. An incredible 12 of Morecambe’s 25 shots on target on the road have resulted in goals, ranking them as the most clinical side away from home in the Football League. This equates to the side scoring 2 goals for every 4.16 shots on target (50%) so to have the opportunity to back that at an implied probability of 28.5% (5/2 odds) hugely appeals.
