Tranmere Rovers form and stats
4-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Tranmere Rovers so far this season.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Tranmere, who played 1-1 against Rochdale. That match was also played at this venue (Prenton Park). Hemmings, an attacker, was the champion player for the side in that match, earning a rating of 8.41 (out of 10). Hemmings scored one goal and hit one key pass.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Harrogate Town that finished 1-1.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Tranmere Rovers have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 7 times, drawn 1 and lost 0.
Not much happening? Looking at this club's last 10 league games, 8 have had two goals or less.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Stockport County are coming to town in three days.
A decent goal production from Tranmere Rovers in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 7 league matches. Tranmere are not conceding a lot of goals here at Prenton Park in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 7 matches.
Carlisle United form and stats
The visitors are W2-D3-L2 on the road this term. That's in the League Two.
Carlisle United lost away at Stockport County (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Moxon got a match rating of 7.83 in that game, top player of the team. Moxon hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
The game before that, was lost at home, a 2-3 defeat against Leyton Orient.Carlisle are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 defeats. From a total of 15 matches.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Carlisle United have scored 8 goals in 7 league games away. Carlisle have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
