Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Tranmere will be aiming to put an end to their three-game losing run in all competitions when they face Wrexham in Saturday’s matinee. The Super Whites have been struggling at the back of late, with the team conceding eight goals in total in the previous three matches and they face yet another uphill task against the promotion-chasing newcomers. Both Dennis and Jolley should be recalled to the starting XI after the duo came off the bench in the EFL Cup loss to Notts County.
The Red Dragons, on the other hand, aim to recover from the League Cup defeat to Bradford City. Wrexham have been impressive in front of goal this season and we predict that they are going to take advantage of Tranmere’s shaky defence. It has to be noted that in their last encounter at Prenton Park Wrexham defeated Tranmere 1-0.
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.
