Tranmere Rovers Preview – Can Tranmere grab lifeline?
Relegation threatened Tranmere Rovers face a tough task of getting something out of is upcoming clash against Sunderland despite Rovers holding home advantage at Prenton Park as the hosts look to claw their way out of trouble.
Tranmere find themselves in dangerous waters as they sit third from bottom and are now 6 points adrift of fourth from bottom club, MK Dons, and safety following a poor sequence of results which have seen Tranmere endure a run of 5 league matches without a win.
Recent defeats to Burton Albion, Coventry City and Ipswich Town have done little to assist Rovers in their current plight, and indeed the hosts have managed to collect just 1 win out of their last 10 matches overall in League One.
A home record of 3-5-5 19/20 includes having lost their last two home matches on the trot while winning just 1 of their last 8 at Prenton Park.
Sunderland Preview – Can Sunderland jump into play-off pack?
An improved run of form for Sunderland under manager, Phil Parkinson, has helped the Black Cats to within touching distance of the play-off pack in League One following an encouraging sequence of 8 matches without defeat in the third tier.
This much-needed turnaround in form has seen Sunderland pick up vital wins against Doncaster Rovers, Lincoln City, Wycombe Wanderers and MK Dons as well as improving upon their away record which now reads a more respectable looking 4-3-5 11/14 thanks to wins at Doncaster and MK Dons.
Prior to this season, Sunderland hadn’t played Tranmere Rovers since Boxing Day in 1998 in the Championship when Tranmere beat them 1-0 at home, but Sunderland recorded an emphatic 5-0 home win over Tranmere in the earlier corresponding fixture at the Stadium of Light in this campaign and will be looking to do the double against Rovers on Wednesday night.
