Our prediction for this League 2 match:
After suffering back-to-back losses to Cheltenham and AFC Wimbledon, Tranmere will look to get back on course when they face Morecambe on Matchday 18. The Rovers have suffered four defeats in the previous five league matches and, no doubt, they are desperate to find their best form before the New Year. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but talented forward Sam Taylor is pushing for a rare start.
The Shrimps, on the other hand, aim to build on the FA Cup win over Bradford City. Morecambe are stuck at the bottom of the table with only 13 points on their account. As both Morecambe and Tranmere will go for a win in Tuesday’s encounter, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. David Tutonda remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
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.
