Prediction: 2-0
Cheltenham
Following a goalless draw with Mansfield Town, Tranmere will be looking to record their first win of the season when they welcome Cheltenham at their Prenton Park. The Rovers have already suffered eliminations in both EFL Cup and EFL Trophy, meaning that they will be fully focused on the League Two in the remainder of the season. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be experienced attacker James Vaughan, who joined the club in the January transfer window.
Cheltenham, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 2-1 loss to Morecambe, with the team dropping a one-goal advantage at home ground. Considering that the visitors are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Birkenhead, we are tempted to put our money on the home team. In their last meeting in the League Two Tranmere outplayed Cheltenham 3-1.
