Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Tranmere and Colchester face each other at Prenton Park on day 42 of the current League Two campaign. The hosts head into the season finale with the lack of motivation as they are stuck in the middle of the table, while the U’s are fighting tooth and nail to avoid the relegation. As Tranmere failed to impress in back-to-back losses to Crawley Town and Bradford City, home win should not be considered.
Connor Wood remains in the recovery room, with Dan Pike likely to keep his place in the starting XI. The visitors, on the other hand, picked up vital three points from the Newport game, with the team remaining one point clear of the relegation zone. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Colchester want this triumph more than Tranmere. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Tranmere.
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.
