Tranmere Rovers still need points as they try to avoid dropping out of the EFL. This home match might just be the game they need against a Crewe Alexandra team that has fallen away from the playoff chase, and are now playing for pride, and a part of spoiler in this League Two encounter.

First Prediction For Tranmere Rovers v Crewe Alexandra – Bet On Tranmere Rovers To Win – 83/100
Despite being four points clear of the dreaded drop zone into the National League, Tranmere Rovers are looking over their shoulders at a Carlisle United side that is making a great fight to escape relegation. Rovers will come into this game knowing a win will keep them in League Two next season, anything other than that they will be looking to see what their rivals have done. At home they have been consistently average with seven wins and nine draws from their 22 games, and only a 3-0 loss to leaders Doncaster Rovers, blighted a run of three straight home wins. Crewe Alexandra have fallen out of playoff contention, and even though it is still mathematically possible it would take a series of bizarre results to get them in. Their away record has then on six wins and five losses, so a lot of ground was lost with games drawn, and that holds up as in the last six that have four stalemates on the road.
Second Prediction For Tranmere Rovers v Crewe Alexandra – Bet On Both Teams To Score – Yes – 4/5
As Tranmere try and keep relegation at bay, their goalscoring prowess did pick up a little. In fact before the drubbing by Doncaster, they had outscored opponents 8-1 in the previous three home games, but still they have an equal goal record of 22 for and against on home soil. The fact they have scored two thirds of their goals in those recent games shows how much they struggled early on. With this new confidence at home, and against a Crewe side that has slumped in form, they should be able to find the net. The visitors also have a level goal difference when on the road, 19 apeice for themselves and opponents, so goals are a little tighter to come by, and they have only conceded four in the last five away trips, against teams going for promotion too. They have bagged 49 overall though so they know their way around the penalty box.
Third Prediction For Tranmere Rovers v Crewe Alexandra – Bet On Match To End In A Draw – 12/5
The Railwaymen are one of the draw specialists in the whole of the EFL, with 17 in total, and remarkably 11 of those have been on the road. That is half of their games away from home, and with the equal goal difference it would say that Crewe play very conservative when on their travels. They do need a win to keep up their very outside chances of extending their season, and that night also stifle the advances of Tranmere. Rovers have drawn nine of their total 15 draws when playing at home, so again that would sense a draw is the outcome, and they will certainly not want to lose and hand any momentum to Carlisle and make the last game of the season very tense. It is have four games at home since the last draw, whereas Crewe drawn three of the last four away.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head To Head
Where are the goals coming from to keep Tranmere Rovers in the EFL? Well, so far Omari Patrick has 10 and if he manages a couple more by the season end it could be enough to keep the Rovers up. Should he fail to find the net then 35 year old Kristian Dennis may be the key if he adds to his seven so far. Cameron Norman has been one of the first names of manager Andy Crosby’s team sheet so far, and he has repaid the faith of his 40 appearances overall with three goals and two assists. At the back, obviously there is some issues otherwise they wouldn’t be where they are in the league. They don’t often get overrun though, and if Tom Davies and Jordan Turnbull can maintain their steady presence in the back line it will help the cause for sure. Tranmere have their fate in their own hands, and with this home game may have enough in the tank to survive.
Where did it go wrong for Crewe Alexandra? A season that had much promise just fizzled out with too many drawn games, a lack of either killing a game off , or letting teams back in. This will of course be something of concern for Lee Bell as he tries to build again for next season. Now though they will try and end on a high, and maybe with some pressure off they will start to play a bit more freely. Picking up just a win and a draw in the last six shows how quick they have fallen, and even with veteran striker Kane Hemmings getting goals – four so far – they have never really threatened in recent games. They have stayed in contention largely due to a good defence, and 35 year old Mickey Demetriou keeping things together. This will be a season of what ifs though and it will be a long summer as they try and regroup for another tilt at promotion.
