Stevenage hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 20 points and a 22nd position in the League Two table. Visiting Tranmere Rovers holds 15th place with 28 pts.
- Stevenage has the fewest matches over the total-line (7) in League Two
- Tranmere Rovers has the fewest dropped points from leading position (2) in League Two
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the EFL Trophy.
Stevenage form and stats
4-2-4 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Stevenage so far this season. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Stevenage after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The Stevenage crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Swansea City here at The Lamex Stadium in a FA Cup match. Before that, Stevenage had a League Two home game versus Scunthorpe United which ended with a victory 3-1.
The penalty miss from Luke Norris in the defeat against Swansea City was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
This is expected to be a close game, with Stevenage perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Stevenage as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Stevenage has won four of these, drawn five and lost two.
The manager A. Revell will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Crawley Town in only three days.
The Stevenage fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 10 matches. Stevenage have only conceded 8 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Tranmere Rovers form and stats
The visitors are W4-D4-L3 on the road this term. That's in the League Two.
C. Taylor and M. Ferrier scored in Tranmere Rovers's previous match, the home game against Leicester U21 that ended 4-2. Prior to that match, the Tranmere Rovers manager K. Hill faced defeat when travelling to Barnsley and losing 0-2.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Tranmere, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
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 eleven relevant matches. Results were four Tranmere wins, six draws and one defeat.
A quick return to home after this game, as Tranmere Rovers are hosting Forest Green Rovers in the League Two only three days away.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Tranmere have scored 12 goals in 11 league games away. Tranmere have conceded 16 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - five - three (Stevenage wins - draws - Tranmere Rovers wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.Top Goalscorers
