Fleetwood Town vs Tranmere Predictions

Fleetwood to shade clash

Fleetwood should be backed to get a home win over Tranmere on Saturday. The visitors have struggled at the back this season and that could be key, with Fleetwood manager Pete Wild looking to secure three points against Andy Crosby’s side at Highbury Stadium.

Fleetwood are eight places and 13 points above Tranmere in the table, with the visitors 22nd, having won eight and lost 17 of their 37 games. Backing the home side in games between bottom-half teams in League Two this season would have shown a profit of 18.12 points to a one-point level stake.

Tranmere’s struggles at the back this season could be key to the outcome of Saturday’s game. Rovers have conceded 36 goals away from home in League Two this season – an average of two goals per game from their 18 matches on the road.

Tranmere’s recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins, two draws and two defeats in their last six games. Their biggest priced win in that run was when they upset the odds to beat Bradford 1-0 at odds of 5/1 but they might not be able to land a similar blow here.

A narrow win for Fleetwood looks the most likely outcome, with seven of Tranmere’s last nine League Two games ending with under 2.5 goals. Fleetwood to win 1-0 is the correct-score pick.
