Fleetwood Town
- Fleetwood Town are unbeaten in five League Two games (W3, D2).
- Fleetwood Town have won seven, drawn five and lost five of their 17 home matches in League Two.
- Town sit 14th in the table on 49 points from 35 games while Rovers are 19th with 35 from 36.
- Matt Lawlor’s men have been on a roll since he was appointed as head coach in January 2026, bringing a touch of pragmatism to stop the slide down the table.
- The Cod Army were 1-0 winners at Walsall last weekend, drawing their previous two against Newport County and Gillingham.
- Fleetwood have scored 1.59 and conceded 1.47 goals per game at home in League Two, so both sides will fancy their chances of getting on the scoresheet at Highbury.
Tranmere Rovers
- Tranmere Rovers have lost five consecutive League Two matches.
- Tranmere boss Pete Wild takes charge of Saturday’s visit to former club Fleetwood Town just days after his appointment and is sure to face some awkward questions from the home support.
- Wild’s Rovers team have been beaten in five straight games and failed to win their previous two visits to Fleetwood.
- Tranmere have lost three away games in a row, conceding multiple goals in each, and will take time to adjust to their new boss’ way of doing things while Fleetwood are enjoying a great time.
Key Players
- Mark Helm has scored two of Fleetwood’s last five goals and looks like a good bet to get on the board on Saturday.
- Charlie Whitaker (10 goals in 31 League Two appearances) is Tranmere’s most consistent source of goals.
Betting Insights
Our selection for the game is Fleetwood to win and Both Teams to Score - yes and over 2.5 goals , but the odds for the hosts to get the three points at 1.82 are so attractive that we will add that to the recommendation list for bettors.
Prediction
But Town’s form and Rovers’ away record mean we are taking the home side to win what could be an open contest .
