Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Stockport welcome Tranmere Rovers to their Edgeley Park in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. The Hatters aim to put an end to their three-game winless run, and a win over Tranmere will see them move closer to the playoffs berth. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, while January signing Aaron Rowe could make his Stockport debut against the Super Whites.
Meanwhile, the visitors defeated Leyton thanks to Omar Beckles’ own goal at the weekend, with the team climbing to 13th place in the standings. Tranmere, though, are not regarded as good travellers, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Stockport’s party at Edgeley Park. Regan Hendy could play some part in Saturday’s clash after signing a loan deal with the Super Whites from Forest Green.
Highlighted Player (Jordan Turnbull):
Born in Trowbridge, England, on October 30, 1994, Jordan Turnbull is a professional footballer who plays for Northampton Town as a defender. Turnbull is a product of Swindon Town football academy, but in 2007 he was spotted by Southampton scouts.
Despite signing a professional contract with Southampton, he did not see any game action with the Saints at senior level. The English footballer made no fewer than 86 league appearances for Swindon Town during his loan spell with the Robins, and in 2016 he signed a contract with Coventry City.
Jordan Turnbull spent the 2017/2018 on loan Partick Thistle before joining Northampton Town permanently. Speaking of his international career, the Northampton centre-back has two caps with the England U19 team, and one cap with the England U20. Jordan Turnbull, who is used as a left-back as well, wears the number 6 jersey at Northampton Town. His preferred foot is left.
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.
