Accrington S. play host to Morecambe at Inetrlink Express on Friday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Reds are clearly on top, with a 60.00% success rate in the fixture.

The last time the two teams met at Accrington S. was back in December 1994, over five years ago, where Morecambe annihilated the Reds 0-4 in a (Northern) Premier match.
