Prediction: 1-1
MK Dons
Tranmere play host to MK Dons at their Prenton Park on day 28 of the 2023/2024 League Two campaign. The Rovers failed to extend their winning run to five games, with the team losing to Barrow on the road, but they are surely capable of matching the Dons in front of home fans. Harvey Saunders remains on the sidelines alongside Luke Norris, Jake Leake, and Jean Belehouan, while Lee O’Connor is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The visitors, meanwhile, are desperate to make amends for a 3-0 loss to Doncaster. MK Dons were on a four-game winning run before the Donny defeat as well and, taking everything into account, they are surely capable of holding Tranmere to a draw at Prenton Park. As for the away side, forward Jonathan Leko is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Mo Eisa):
Born on the 12th of July, 1994, in Khartoum, Sudan, Mo Eisa is a Sudanese professional footballer who plays for Peterborough United in the third tier of English Football. The 6ft tall striker/ winger is a Pro Touch Soccer Academy product.
The initial years of his career were spent playing non-league football with teams like Dartford, Leatherhead, and Greenwich Borough, the latter for whom he scored over 50 goals in 100 appearances. On the 7th of July, 2017, Eisa signed a contract with League Two outfit Cheltenham Town and made his league debut on the 5th of August, 2017.
A prolific season with the Robins earned him the Supporters' Player Of The Year and the Players' Player Of The Year awards at the end of the season. For the 18/19 season, the 25-year-old joined Championship side Bristol for a brief stint before returning to League One with Peterborough for the following season on a four-year contract.
Highlighted Team (Tranmere):
Based in Birkenhead, Merseyside, Tranmere Rovers are a professional club that compete in the League One. Tranmere were founded back in 1884 under the name of Belmont FC, with the football arms of cricket clubs Lyndhurst Wanderers and Belmont coming together. The club recorded their first win later in 1884 as they outclassed Brunswick Rovers 4-0.
Nowadays Tranmere Rovers play their home games at Prenton Park, the venue which can hold up to 15,567 people. The Rovers wear white shirts and blue shorts in home matches, but back in the 19th century orange and red were the dominating colours on their kit.
Tranmere fans see Bolton Wanderers as the club’s main rivals, but they have built a small rivalry with Chester City and Everton as well. The Prenton Park outfit did well to make it to the League Cup final in the 1993/1994 season, but Aston Villa proved to be a big catch for them in the title game.
