Tranmere vs Scunthorpe Predictions

• Tranmere have won their last five league games, the last four of them to nil.
• Scunthorpe, on the other hand, have managed one win in their last 10.
• The Irons have won just once in 12 attempts on the road this season.

Tranmere look to continue good run

Tranmere Rovers are on a run of five consecutive league wins, although coronavirus outbreaks have prevented them from playing since Boxing Day, causing them to slip to fourth in League Two.

The Birkenhead club have also kept four clean sheets on the spin, and will be confident of returning to action with another win on Saturday, when struggling Scunthorpe visit Prenton Park. Scunthorpe have won just one of their last 10 games, and have only tasted victory on one of their 12 away trips this season, a recent 3-1 success at Oldham, the only team below them at the foot of the Football League.

Tranmere’s defensive record is comfortably the best in the fourth-tier; Micky Mellon’s charges have only shipped 14 goals in 22 games, and just six in 11 on their own turf. They will be confident of remaining untroubled against League Two’s fourth-lowest scoring outfit.

Back Hosts for revenge, and a shutout

Tranmere have recorded 13 clean sheets in all competitions this season, winning 10 of those games. During an extremely slow start to the season, they were actually beaten by a single goal at Scunthorpe, but will be confident of avenging that defeat against a side with just two wins in 19 competitive games since that day.

Backing Tranmere for a win and clean sheet against their impotent visitors looks a good bet, as does a 2-0 home victory, for those who fancy a correct score punt.
