Tranmere Rovers form and stats
8-1-6 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Tranmere Rovers so far this season.

This is expected to be a close game, with Tranmere Rovers perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Tranmere Rovers as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Tranmere has won five of these, drawn three and lost six.
