The League One league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 21st and 13th respectively.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Bristol Rovers form and stats

The first game here at Memorial Stadium resulted in a draw. Last season Bristol Rovers's home game statistics were 6 victories, 6 draws and 11 defeats from 23 games.

In their previous game, the manager G. Coughlan led his Bristol Rovers to a defeat in the League One match away at Coventry City. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Memorial Stadium. Previous to that game, a Carabao Cup home match hosting Cheltenham Town in a game that was won 3-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Bristol Rovers perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bristol Rovers as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Bristol Rovers has won 5 of these, drawn 5 and lost 3.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League One game versus Oxford United in only four days. This game is also played here at Memorial Stadium.

Early season goal statistics from Bristol Rovers's 1 home game: 0 goals, 0 conceded.

Tranmere Rovers form and stats

Playing away, Tranmere Rovers have won 0 games, drawn 0 and suffered 1 defeat so far this season.

Tranmere Rovers won their last game, 5-0 versus Bolton Wanderers played at home. A loss against Hull City was the result prior to that, in a Carabao Cup home game.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Tranmere Rovers playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were 4 Tranmere Rovers wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.

After this away game Tranmere Rovers return home for a League One game against Bury. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Tranmere Rovers has the goal stats of 0-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip at the early stages of this season.
