Tranmere sit in 9th place on 42 points, 3 places above us with 5 more points.
Their current form is WLWLWDDLW (including a 7-0 home defeat by Spurs last week.
At home they have suffered a single league defeat against 1-0 to Newport with 8 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat scoring 17 but conceding just 5 goals at home in the league.
In the cups their home form has been patchy losing to Walsall, Crewe, Man City U21 and Spurs.
They are just as likely to ship lots of goals as score them after conceding 6 to Shrewsbury, 5 at Grimsby, 7 home to Spurs and they have had one 5 goal win at home Crawley.
Tranny have the leagues leading scorer in James Norwood with 19 goals, their 2nd highest scorer is Connor Jennings on 8, ex Town striker Mullins is on 6 goals in 3rd place.
Some fans have a rather large chip on their shoulder from years back...
well once again we play the not so great - rock n roll swindle town. there is no way we can allow such a cheating team such as swindle to get the double over us. for what they have done in the past - they should be thrown out of the league and dumped in national league south. in both legs of the play off semi finals - we were cheated out of perfectly good goals and also when we were winning 2-1 at their place in a top of the table clash the floodlights failed and we lost the replay. if I am correct- james Norwood currently has 79 goals for Tranmere rovers - so there is no better team to get number 80 against. I am going for 2-1 to Tranmere with the lord and ollie banks against his old team to score.
Every prediction on their forum so far has said a Tranny win ranging from 3-0 to a scrappy 1-0.
Our form in the last 10 games has been WWWLDDDLWD if we can start turning some of those draws into wins then who knows.
Swindon have won their last 4 visits to Prenton Park but lost the previous 5 visits with just 6 wins up there in 28 games losing 15 times.
