On Nov 4th, Sheffield Wednesday will host Morecambe at Hillsborough Stadium in a clash of the FA Cup. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 9 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. In their last match, Sheffield Wednesday recorded a 4-2 win against Burton Albion. Barry Bannan struck first for Sheffield Wednesday in the 22nd minute, then Michael Smith added another in the 26th minute from the penalty spot. With 21 points in their last 10 matches Sheffield Wednesday should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, Morecambe recorded a 1-1 draw against Wycombe Wanderers. Forino-Joseph scored the first goal for Wycombe Wanderers in the 20th minute, but Major got the equalizer for Morecambe in the 81st minute earning them at least the one point. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Morecambe’s top weapon lately has been Keiran Phillips, who has two goals in the last 5 matches. Sheffield Wednesday’s most prolific scorer has been Lee Gregory. The English attacker has netted three goals over the last five matches.
