Tranmere Rovers form and stats

The traveling awayteam has defeated Chichester City and Wycombe Wanderers in order to reach 3rd Round of FA Cup. They also participated in FA Cup last season. This ended in the 3rd round.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Tranmere Rovers so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-8 (win-draw-lose). When we have look at the FA Cup statistics, we find 2W-1D-0L. This is both home and away. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Tranmere Rovers's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Tranmere Rovers failed to get anything from their last game, a League One home match vs Coventry City that ended with defeat 1-4. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Blackpool in the League One.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Tranmere Rovers as they have only managed to score 9 times from 11 away games in the league. For Tranmere Rovers, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
