FootyMAD's Altrincham match preview

History of the Morecambe v Altrincham fixture

Morecambe prepare to entertain Altrincham at Christie Park on Tuesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Shrimps.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Christie Park was less than a year ago, in April 2006, with Morecambe running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Conference match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its a close one to call, but I think that Shrimps's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Altrincham. Home Win
