Season ticket holders at Prenton Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Tranmere Rovers languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Blackpool will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It's no vacation for neither Tranmere Rovers nor Blackpool as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
