10:00 AM
Prediction: 2-0
Tranmere
Rotherham United return to action in the League One on Saturday afternoon as they play host to Tranmere Rovers at their AESSEAL New York Stadium following a two-week absence. The Millers did well to beat Burton Albion on the road in their last league match and seeing that they aim to climb to the top half of the standings, we are positive that the hosts will fight tooth and nail against Tranmere.
The Rovers, on the other hand, outplayed relegation strugglers 5-0 at home on Matchday 5, but Bristol Rovers proved to be a big catch for Micky Mellon’s troops at the weekend. Considering that the visitors will be without suspended duo Oliver Banks – Corey Taylor in Saturday’s football match, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side, who are eyeing a quick return to the Championship.

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.
