The complete League Two statistics playing at home this season for Tranmere Rovers are 2-0-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Ross Doohan not having conceded a league goal in 195 minutes.
It's back home for Tranmere, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Walsall away with the result 1-0. Nevitt found the net in that victory. Manager Mellon felt very clever after Nevitt scored the winning goal against Walsall, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 58th minute. Turnbull was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.8 out of 10. The defender Turnbull won 10 of 11 duels.
A 2-2 scoreline against Bolton Wanderers before that, played at home in the EFL Trophy.
