The visitors are W3-D5-L3 on the road this term. That's in the League Two. Impressively, the visitors are on a six-match winning run which they hope continue versus Salford City.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Barrow.Tranmere Rovers are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, two draws and four defeats. From a total of eleven matches.
A new game in only four days for Tranmere, the League Two home match versus Rochdale. Busy days.
