Portsmouth’s playoff hopes received a setback on Friday, as they had to settle for a 1-1 draw in their away meeting with MK Dons despite taking the lead. Conor Ogilvie opened the scoring but Joe Morrell’s 39th-minute red card left John Mousinho’s side with a lot of work to do.
As it proved, Mo Eisa’s 65th-minute equaliser ensured Pompey had to be content with a point that extended their unbeaten run to five matches. Portsmouth ultimately lost ground on their playoff rivals, as Derby County, Peterborough United and Bolton Wanderers all recorded victories to leave Pompey five points adrift of the top six.
If they are to remain in touch with the playoff places then Pompey know that they will need to secure all three points on Monday, and they can draw inspiration from their last home meeting with Morecambe in December 2021, which produced a 2-0 win.
Meanwhile, Morecambe’s two-season stay in League One looks to be coming to an end after they lost a third consecutive game on Friday.
The Shrimps took the lead against promotion-chasing Plymouth Argyle through Jensen Weir, but second-half strikes from Danny Mayor, Ben Waine, and Jay Matete condemned Morecambe to a 3-1 defeat.
Derek Adams’s side have now drawn three and lost six of their previous nine matches, leaving them in a lowly 23rd position.
