Last season Blackpool played in the Championship. After relegation, they anticipated to have a major role in League One. Still, after 17 league rounds, Blackpool accumulated only 24 points and they are much closer to mid position on the table than the desired top spot. Blackpool won only one of the last four matches in all competitions. In the previous game, Blackpool lost 1-0 on the road against Bolton. That match was fairly even, but eventually, the home side had too much firepower for Blackpool. After another bad game, Neil Critchley's team could use the EFL Trophy game versus Morecambe to regain some lost confidence.
Morecambe are playing this season in League Two. They accumulated 27 points in the first 16 matches and Morecambe hopes to have a solid chance for promotion at the end of the season. Derek Adams' team lost two of the last three matches, so their form could be better too. In the previous game, Morecambe lost 3-2 on the road against Grimsby. The home side had xG of 2.93, while guests had only 1.74, so it is no wonder that Morecambe suffered another defeat. Adams' team needs to win on Tuesday versus Blackpool to have any chance to progress to the EFL Trophy next phase.
Blackpool vs Morecambe pick: Over 2.5 goals
Blackpool scored ten goals in the last five matches. On the other hand, Morecambe scored eight goals in the previous four games. Over 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.

Blackpool team news
Blackpool lost against Bolton in the previous round, but the head coach Neil Critchley wasn't completely disappointed. He said, "I'm disappointed with the result. But, as I say, I've been angry with the performances when we've won this season. We've come to Bolton who have been in good form this season and playing on their home pitch and I thought we more than matched them.
Neil Critchley mixed up his team in the previous EFL Trophy games, so in the game against Morecambe, we can expect reserves to get a chance to play.

Morecambe team news
Morecambe lost against Grimsby, and the head coach, Derek Adams, admitted that the team didn't react well in situations.
He said, "We got off to what was a perfect start and that gave us a lot of confidence, but it swung Grimsby's way and I thought they created the better openings in the first half. We didn't deal with their movement and long balls."
