1st Prediction For Morecambe vs MK Dons: MK Dons to win 1.84
Scott Lindsey was appointed as MK Dons manager just over three weeks ago. After getting his new team to show promise on occasions, such as when the Dons thumped Harrogate by five goals to one away from home, a trip to struggling Morecambe should provide the perfect occasion for the former Crawley Town manager to pick up his second win at his new club. Some may look at Morecambe’s recent upturn in form, which culminated in their first win of the season against Barrow last weekend, and questions this. But, the raw ability of MK Dons players like Joe Tomlinson and Liam Kelly, who was promoted from League Two with Crawley alongside Lindsey last season, should be more than enough to carry them through this encounter.
2nd Prediction For Morecambe vs MK Dons: Both teams to score: No 2.07
The Shrimps have failed to find the net in five of their 11 league games this season and are currently the third lowest scorers in the fourth tier. On-loan striker Marcus Dackers has been dominant in the air, with his aerial duel success rate being one of the highest in the division, but he is yet to score a league goal this season. His strike partner for last game, Ben Tollitt, has been slightly more prolific, but he has never hit double figures for goals in a league campaign (partly because he is not a natural striker). In Lawrence Maguire, MK Dons have their own aerially dominant player who should be able to counter Dackers’ threat and Brighton loanee Thomas McGill has been great in between the sticks so far. This should mean that the Dons are able to keep a clean sheet on their trip to the Northwest
3rd Prediction For Morecambe vs MK Dons: MK Dons to win and under 1.5 goals 7.15
Morecambe also have a reasonable defensive structure which could see this match turn out to be a low-scoring affair. Former Cardiff City academy prospect David Tutonda has formed a good partnership with Adam Lewis on the left-hand side of defence which has seen the duo be two of the Shrimps’ better players so far this season. Jamie Stott has also played relatively well upon his return to the Football League and he is a defender who excels in the tackle and is able to read the game well and make interceptions. But, Scott Lindsey is known for playing very fluid, attacking football which means that his team should find a way to penetrate Morecambe’s defence.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Despite only rejoining the Shrimps in the summer, the pressure will have been ramping up on manager Derek Adams until the last couple of games. He would like his side to build on their recent momentum and secure another win to take them out of the relegation zone. Scott Lindsey has enjoyed a reasonable start to his tenure at MK Dons and a home loss against high-flying Port Vale should not dampen his spirits. The Dons have one of the most talented squads in the league and the 52-year-old will be hoping that his side can put together a run of wins which elevates them from mid-table mediocrity into the playoff places.
