- Tranmere Rovers have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Salford City have the fewest conceded goals (33) in League Two
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Tranmere and Salford City.
The season is still full of potential for Tranmere as they can still win the whole League Two.
Tranmere Rovers form and stats
When playing at home in the League Two, Tranmere Rovers have managed 10 wins, 3 draws and suffered 7 defeats from 20 games. Two draws in a row at home now for Tranmere.
Tranmere are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 259 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by P. Lewis).
Tranmere lost their last game at Walsall (placed 18th) after a 0-1 scoreline. 0-0 away at Scunthorpe United before that.
This is expected to be a close game, with Tranmere Rovers perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Tranmere as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Tranmere Rovers has won four of these, drawn five and lost five.
Tranmere are traveling soon after this match as the League Two match at Bradford City awaits in three days.
The Tranmere fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 29 in 20 matches. Tranmere Rovers's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 22 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Salford City form and stats
Playing away, Salford City, who have the fewest conceded goals (33) in League Two, have won 6 games, drawn 2 and suffered 11 defeats in the League Two this season.
Salford City might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Bolton Wanderers proved too strong as Salford slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at The Peninsula Stadium. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Stevenage.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Salford City in our archives, and the results are: one win for Salford City, two draws and five defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Salford manager G. Bowyer as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Walsall.
The visitors have scored 15 goals from 19 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's not easy to score on Salford as they have only conceded 18 goals from these away games.
