Crewe head into the match this weekend after having picked up a fourth consecutive loss as Carlisle United managed a 3-0 success. Tranmere have now picked up back-to-back league victories after a 2-1 success over Barrow despite being reduced to 10 men towards the end of the game.

Tranmere to get the three points

Tranmere have been playing some fantastic football of late. The manner of the away victory over Barrow – despite being down to 10 men – is likely to give the team plenty of confidence as they go into the upcoming fixture. Crewe have every reason to be fearful about a fifth consecutive loss as the slide down the table continues to remain in place. A victory for Tranmere in this encounter will be a repeat of the EFL Trophy success that the team achieved back in October.

Total goals under 2.5

There have been less goals in recent games between Tranmere and Crewe. Two of the last three encounters have finished with a 1-0 score in favour of Tranmere, who have picked up a victory in all three meetings. Crewe have been desperate for goals of late and the team has only registered three in the last six matches. Tranmere’s momentum should ensure a comfortable success for the visitors.

Both teams to score – no

Tranmere went through a string of away clean sheets during September and October. Given the struggles of the home team coming into the game, Tranmere should be able to revive the same even if they have only managed one blank in the last five games on the road.

Crewe vs Tranmere: Form Preview and Team News

Crewe

Crewe head into the match after dropping down to 17^th in the league table following the run of four consecutive losses. Manager Lee Bell was able to witness a decent improvement in form immediately after his arrival in early November, but it has completely gone out of the window of late.

Tranmere

Tranmere are in an excellent spot to make a push into the top half of the table. Depending on results this weekend, Tranmere could end up in the play-off spots considering the good goal difference of +6. After a period of struggle, manager Micky Mellon is once again starting to find his feet with the team. There are no injury issues but Tranmere could make changes to the starting line-up.
