Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Following a morale-boosting win over Tranmere Rovers, MK Dons will look to stay in the playoffs berth when they take on Morecambe on Saturday afternoon. The Dons quickly bounced back from a 3-0 loss to Doncaster, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to secure a top-seven finish. Wales forward Ellis Harrison is pushing for a start after the 29-year-old scored the winner at the weekend.
The Shrimps, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their six-game winless run in all competitions, but given MK Dons’ fine winning run at home, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Lancashire empty-handed. As for the away team, January signing Brandon Barker is likely to make his Morecambe debut against MK Dons, while Charlie Brown should be recalled to the starting line-up following his fine performance in a 1-1 draw with Mansfield.
