An important duel in the bottom section of the League One, with both Accrington Stanley and Tranmere Rovers experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 21st place.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Tranmere Rovers form and stats

Tranmere Rovers have only collected 11 points from their away games in the League One, after 3-2-10 (15 played).

It's the second away game in a row for Tranmere Rovers, but there's smiles all around after the 3-2 victory versus Shrewsbury Town (placed 15th) in the League One last time out. A 1-3 defeat away at Wycombe Wanderers before that.

Late drama in the previous game, when Corey Taylor scored the winning goal five minutes into stoppage time to defeat Shrewsbury Town.

The schedule is very tough for Tranmere Rovers now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League One game at Blackpool is waiting in only three days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Tranmere Rovers as they have only managed to score 13 times from 15 away games in the league. Tranmere Rovers have conceded 32 goals in these games.
