Morecambe's search for their first victory of the 2024-25 League Two season will continue on Saturday afternoon, when they make the trip to Holker Street to tackle high-flying Barrow.

preview：

Barrow were so close to making the League Two playoffs last season, finishing in eighth spot in the table, just one point behind seventh-placed Crawley Town.

The early indications are that the Bluebirds will again be challengers for promotion this season, with a solid start to the campaign seeing them pick up 19 points from 10 matches to sit in third spot in the table, only behind leaders Walsall on goal difference.

Barrow's recent form has been hugely disappointing, though, losing four of their last five matches in all competitions, including two of their last three in the league.

Stephen Clemence's side will enter this match off the back of a 3-0 defeat to Fleetwood Town in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday night, but they did manage to triumph in League Two last weekend, recording a 2-1 win over Cheltenham Town.

Barrow were 1-0 winners over Morecambe in the corresponding match during the 2023-24 campaign, but they suffered a 2-1 defeat when the two sides last locked horns back in April.

Morecambe will enter this match off the back of a much-needed win, recording a 4-2 victory over Nottingham Forest Under-21s in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday night, but their start to the League Two season has been disappointing.

Indeed, the Shrimps are still waiting for their first league win of the campaign, boasting a record of four draws and six defeats from their 10 matches to sit at the bottom of the table on four points.

Derek Adams's side have only actually lost one of their last six matches in all competitions, which proved to be a 2-1 defeat to Accrington Stanley in the league last weekend.

There have been positive signs in recent weeks, with four of their last five matches in League Two finishing level, but they simply have to put a victory on the board as soon as possible.

Morecambe have struggled in the final third of the field this season, only managing eight goals in their 10 matches, which is the third-worst attacking record in the division at this stage of proceedings.
