Morecambe prepare to entertain Scarborough at Christie Park on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Shrimps are clearly on top, with a 60.00% success rate in the fixture.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Christie Park was less than a year ago, in April 2003, with Morecambe running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a Conference match.
