Prediction: 1-1
Morecambe
Tranmere will be looking to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Doncaster Rovers when they face Morecambe in the League Two round 33. Nigel Adkins’ men have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Grimsby, sharing the spoils with Crewe, while losing to Doncaster. Tranmere are eager to get back on course in the League Two as soon as possible and they are seen as favourites to win the midweek clash. Midfielder Josh Hawkes is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last league fixture, while Brad Walker is a major doubt.
All Luke Norris, Jean Belehouan, and Jake Leake remain unavailable for selection. The Shrimps, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Crawley Town and Sutton, but beating Tranmere at Prenton Park is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting 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.
