Morecambe play host to Chester City at Christie Park on Wednesday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, beating their opponents 1 times from 5 games.
The last time the two teams met at Morecambe was just over four years ago, in November 2003, with Chester City inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Shrimps in a Conference match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its not been a very profitable last few weeks for Morecambe, and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. Score draw
