Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Morecambe will look to build on a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Barrow when they face MK Dons at the Mazuma Stadium. Paul Lewis picked up an injury in the last league game, but with Hallam Hope expected to step up, the in-form hosts will be confident of picking up all three points from the match. The Shrimps have been making progress week by week and their home form suggests they could pull off an upset in this one.
MK Dons, on the other hand, head into the match following a dissapointing 1-0 defeat to Port Vale, and they have struggled for consistency in their performances. While they have no fresh injury concerns ahead of the clash, their recent form has been less than convincing, especially on the travels. Given Morecambe's solid run and MK Dons' inconsistency, home win should be considered. The hosts are considered underdogs, but they are surely capable of upsetting MK Dons, who were not at their sharpest at the weekend.
