Morecambe prepare to entertain Shrewsbury Town at Christie Park on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Though past meetings have resulted in more draws than losses for Shrimps.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Christie Park was less than a year ago, in April 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Two match.

Nothing seems to be going right for the Shrimps at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Shrews come away with an easy victory. Away win
