Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Prenton Park will host Tuesday’s League Two game between Tranmere and AFC Wimbledon. The Rovers aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Cheltenham Town and their 2-1 win over Newport in the last home game is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of AFC Wimbledon. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the midweek clash.
Meanwhile, the Dons are eager to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Walsall. Considering that both AFC Wimbledon and Tranmere Rovers will go for a win, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Experienced forward Joe Pigott is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the last league match. Wimbledon boss Johnnie Jackson should stick to the 3-5-2 formation, with Stevens and Bugiel up front.
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.
