Last season, Tranmere Rovers's league statistics were 20 wins, 13 draws and 13 losses, resulting in a 7th position in the League Two. Over these 46 matches they scored 55 goals and conceded 50. Playing at home last season Tranmere Rovers managed 11-5-7 (win-draw-lost) with 30 goals and 22 conceded.

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 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won four times, drawn three and lost four.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Tranmere as they are travelling to their away game against Oldham Athletic in the Carabao Cup. That match is three days after this one.

Results from training matches should always be treated with caution, but the takeaways from these four matches are 3 victories, 1 draws and 0 losses.
