Salford City vs Tranmere Predictions

• Tranmere have won their last six league games, keeping a clean sheet in each of the last five.
• Only eight League Two sides have scored fewer than Salford City’s 26 goals this season, while Tranmere have the league’s best defence.
• Tranmere beat Salford 2-0 earlier in the season.

Miserly Rovers on the hunt for promotion

Tranmere Rovers have won their last six games in League Two, keeping clean sheets in each of the last five, to move up to second place in the table. They trounced lowly Scunthorpe 4-0 on their last outing, and have a two-point cushion in the automatic promotion places.

The Birkenhead-based club are looking to make it seven on the bounce against a team that they dispatched 2-0 back in September. Salford City have, however, won two games in succession, after losing their previous two.

Only one of Salford’s last five games has seen both teams find the net, and their attacking record ranks among the bottom half of League Two outfits this campaign. Tranmere are actually one of the eight teams to have scored fewer league goals than Salford, but their astonishing record of just 14 goals conceded has them firmly in the promotion picture.

Rovers to make it seven-up

The in-form visitors’ fearsome defensive record makes backing them a relatively straightforward decision, and with Tranmere’s 11 away games in League Two containing a total of just 15 goals, a 1-0 away win seems a decent correct score prediction.
