Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Shrewsbury
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Prenton Park when Tranmere Rovers and Shrewsbury go head to head in the League Two round 2. Andy Crosby’s men played out a 1-1 draw with Colchester United in their season opener and they are now on a quest to record their first win of the process. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Shrewsbury’s visit.
Meanwhile, the Shrews head into the match following a goalless draw with Bromley. The two sides seem to be evenly matched ahead of Saturday’s encounter and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Michael Appleton has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the trip to Merseyside. In their last meeting at Prenton Park, Shrewsbury defeated Tranmere 1-0 and yet another low-scoring affair is on the cards.
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.
