Accrington Stanley host Tranmere Rovers at the Wham Stadium on Tuesday evening in a crucial clash towards the bottom end of the table in Sky Bet League Two.
Our Three Predictions for Accrington Stanley vs Tranmere Rovers
- First Prediction: Tranmere Rovers to win – 9/5
- Second Prediction: Over 2.5 goals to be scored – 19/20
- Third Prediction: Both teams to score – 4/5
First Prediction for Accrington Stanley vs Tranmere Rovers – Tranmere Rovers to win – 9/5
Although Accrington will be well up for this task, with the side desperately needing to get points on the board to avoid dropping into the relegation zone, Tranmere have had a better season so far and are on form for this clash. Whilst the hosts have only won once in their last five, their opponents have only lost once, winning two and drawing two. Whilst Andy Crosby’s side only sit three points away from the drop zone, his side will also be looking to pick up another crucial three points to steer them away from what is and what is going to be a very interesting relegation scrap this season.
In terms of recent fixtures between the two sides, Tranmere have proven to be Stanley’s bogey team at times, with Tranmere winning eight of the last 15 clashes between these two outfits since 2010. With this in mind, mixed with the other stats, it’s clear to see why Rovers are favourites to win this clash on Tuesday evening.
Second Prediction for Accrington Stanley vs Tranmere Rovers – Over 2.5 goals to be scored – 19/20
Although the hosts haven’t scored the most amount of goals so far this campaign, they’ve recently improved on that record, scoring four in one game against Swindon, and one goal last weekend. This has bumped their average goalscoring record per game to just under one goal, the average sitting at 0.92. Interestingly, despite their league position, Accrington have a decent record when it comes to defending, the side conceding 16 goals in 13 games, which is the best record within the bottom eight sides. On average, this is 1.23 goals conceded per game.
Tranmere are the opposites of this, however, and score goals for fun, but also have problems defending, the side scoring 21 goals and conceding 19 in their 13 league games they have played so far. In terms of scoring goals, they have the joint fourth-best record, which is even better than some sides who are sitting at the top end of the table. Although their 19 goals conceded is far from being one of the worst in the league, it still equates to an average of more than one goal conceded per game.
With the stats showing that both sides can find the back of the net, but also can be defensively fragile, there’s no doubt that this could be a high-scoring encounter.
Third Prediction for Accrington Stanley vs Tranmere Rovers – Both teams to score – 4/5
Adding onto the previous point, both sides are likely to score in this encounter. Defensively, the hosts concede 1.23 goals per game, whilst Tranmere concede 1.46 and score 1.62 goals per 90.

Full Preview of the Game – Last Results and Head-To-Head
As mentioned above, if both sides want to avoid relegation and move away from the bottom of the table, they need to start picking up points quickly. Winning once in their last five, the hosts will be looking to build on their win two weeks ago against Swindon, needing to bounce back after suffering defeat to Fleetwood Town. Tranmere have only lost once in their last five, winning two and drawing two.
Accrington are now level on points with 23rd-placed Crawley Town after all sides in the bottom five, bar themselves, picked up points on Saturday, whilst the away side sit 18th, just three points off the relegation zone.
Since 2010, these sides have met 15 times in all competitions, including in League One, League Two, the FA Cup, the Carabao Cup and the EFL Trophy. Interestingly, Crosby’s side have won eight of these 15 encounters, with four ending in a draw, while their opponents have won just three games. Last time these sides met at the Wham Stadium, it ended up being a 3-3 thriller, Tranmere coming back from three goals down in the last 20 minutes of the game.
