Tranmere Rovers form and stats

The League Two results at home this season for Tranmere Rovers are 1-0-3 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Tranmere Rovers with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Harrogate Town game, 38 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

The fans are hoping that Tranmere will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the game against Crawley Town (placed 6th). Heartbreak for Tranmere Rovers in their last match as Crawley Town's Lolos scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Attacking player Taylor bested all the other footballers in that game and managed a match rating of 8.34 out of 10. Taylor scored one goal, served one assist and hit three key passes.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Colchester United.
