Tranmere Rovers welcome Newport County for another engaging League Two game here at Prenton Park.

Tranmere Rovers form and stats

Tranmere Rovers have only played one League Two game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 11 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats from 23 matches.

Tranmere are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 197 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by C. McManaman). Tranmere Rovers are confident in defense, having played 351 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

The home team returns to Prenton Park after being equal after 90 minutes with Swindon Town (placed 9th) on their last time out; the League Two game ended 0-0. The goalie Joe Murphy was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.11 out of ten. Murphy stopped the opponent with five saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Port Vale that finished 0-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Tranmere perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Tranmere Rovers as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Tranmere Rovers has won four of these, drawn four and lost five.

At Prenton Park, Tranmere Rovers has the goal stats of 1-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Newport County in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Newport County, five draws and six defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Newport County are hosting Southampton in the Carabao Cup only four days away.
