The visiting Fleetwood Town side should be favourites in this visit to Tranmere Rovers, as the away team holds a 29 point advantage from their 32 league games this season.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Tranmere Rovers and Fleetwood Town.

Tranmere Rovers form and stats

Tranmere Rovers's results here at Prenton Park in the League One have been very modest with 3 victories, 6 draws and 8 defeats. With seven home League One games in a row without a win, the Tranmere Rovers fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the AFC Wimbledon game long ago, can be stopped today.

Tranmere Rovers are returning here after visiting Shrewsbury Town in a League One game and winning with a 3-2 scoreline. Mark Ellis, Corey Taylor and Alex Woodyard scored the goal(s). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Wycombe Wanderers (1-3).

A late climax in the match against Shrewsbury Town as the winning goal came five minutes into overtime; scored by Corey Taylor.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Tranmere Rovers have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won five, drawn three and lost four.

The Tranmere Rovers fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 17 matches. Tranmere Rovers have conceded 26 from these games.

Fleetwood Town form and stats

The visitors are W5-D4-L6 on the road this term. That's in the League One.

Fleetwood Town are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Sunderland (placed 4th). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Portsmouth.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Fleetwood Town in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Fleetwood Town, three draws and eight defeats.

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

The travelling fans enjoy Fleetwood Town's attacking play in away games, having scored 23 goals in 15 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Fleetwood Town have conceded 23 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
