Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Saturday’s football game at Alexandra Stadium pits together Crewe and Tranmere, the two teams sitting in the opposite halves of the table. The Railwaymen aim to stay in the playoffs berth and they must be brimming with confidence following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Fleetwood. With no fresh injury worries to report, Lee Bell is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Cod Army.
Nigel Adkins’ men, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Grimsby Town. As Tranmere struggled offensively in the midweek defeat, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last three meetings in the English fourth tier. Experienced forward Connor Jennings is widely expected to return to the starting XI, speaking of 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.
