Prediction: 1-2
Stockport County
Prenton Park will host Saturday’s football game between Tranmere Rovers and Stockport County, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Nigel Adkins’ men suffered a shocking 3-2 loss to Morecambe in midweek, with the team remaining in 18th place in the standings. Even though Adkins has no fresh injury worries, home win should be considered as Tranmere have been struggling at the back of late.
The Hatters, on the other hand, are eager to retain top position in the standings. Despite the fact that Stockport suffered a surprising 3-1 defeat to Crewe on Tuesday evening, we are tempted to put our money on the promotion hopefuls. All Camps, Byrne, and Bailey are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the away team. Anyhow, we predict that the Hatters are going to take yet another big step towards a place in League One.
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.
