Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:
Crawley Town’s campaign began with a disappointing 3-0 defeat in Cleethorpes against high-flying Grimsby Town. Lindsey’s side were powerless as the Mariners dominated the contest and ended up winning 3-0 at Blundell Park.
Things failed to improve a week later at home to Newport County as the Exiles left Sussex with a 2-1 win and the losing start continued three days later, albeit at Championship side Swansea City in the EFL Cup.
A Tommi O’Reilly strike was enough for Crewe Alexandra to secure all three points last Saturday to leave Crawley pointless from their opening three League Two matches.
There were positive signs on Tuesday as an Ade Adeyemo goal was enough to register the club’s first point of the season at home to MK Dons.
Loan signing Kaheim Dixon has started positively as has Ade Adeyemo, who has scored once so far.
Tranmere Rovers’ season looked to have started with three points away at Colchester United after Connor Jennings had given them the lead only for Kyreece Lisbie to snatch a point for the hosts with two minutes left.
Andy Crosby’s side followed that up with a thumping 4-0 victory over Shrewsbury Town. Taylan Harris, Josh Davison, Omari Patrick and Kristian Dennis were all on the scoresheet against Michael Appleton’s side.
Rovers were to again fall foul of a late goal as they drew 1-1 at home to Gillingham, conceding in the 92nd minute after Omari Patrick looked to have secured the win.
An EFL Cup penalty shootout defeat to Burton Albion followed on Tuesday night after a 1-1 draw with their League One opponents.
Tranmere Rovers have scored six goals so far this season, with Omari Patrick netting two of those and providing one assist for his teammates.
It may still be early in the seaosn but Tranmere are currently averaging two goals per game and conceding an average of 0.7.
In the 15 times they’ve played each other since 2012, these two sides cannot be separated and have claimed seven wins apiece.
Crawley Town competed the double over Tranmere in the 2023-24 season as Scott Lindsey led his side on a remarkable run that saw them not only make the playoffs but achieve promotion to League One.
The first meeting at The Broadfield Stadium was a classic, with Tranmere Rovers twice leading before Klaidi Lolos struck in the 96th minute to hand Crawley all three points.
The meeting at Prenton Park produced a far more routine victory for Crawley as they beat their hosts 3-1. Jeremy Kelly and Jay Williams struck within the first ten minutes to put the visitors in control before Luke Norris pulled one back for Rovers. Danilo Orsi struck the third goal with 11 minutes left to seal the win.
The last time Tranmere tasted victory in this fixture was February 2023, thanks to a Jordan Turnbull strike at Prenton Park. That season would end with Crawley Town maintaining their football league status by just three points.
The 15 meetings have produced 50 goals, 25 each, meaning the average goals per meeting is 3.3.
