Tranmere Rovers hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 22 points and a 21st position in the League One table. Visiting Doncaster Rovers holds 10th place with 41 pts.

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.

Tranmere Rovers form and stats

Tranmere Rovers's results here at Prenton Park in the League One have been very modest with 3 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats. Game days at Prenton Park have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Tranmere Rovers as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts. Tranmere Rovers has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager M. Mellon and the players.

Tranmere Rovers haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 238 minutes ago. E. Monthe scored that one.

The fans are hoping that Tranmere Rovers will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the League One game against Bolton Wanderers (placed 23rd). Preceding that match was the home game against Sunderland that was lost 0-1.

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

Tranmere Rovers are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 14 games. Tranmere Rovers have conceded 21 from these games.
