Tranmere Rovers vs Salford City Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Lacklustre starts to the season have plagued both teams as Tranmere and Salford have failed to make an impact on the division as of yet. However with both teams so close in the table and so evenly matched this could be a huge opportunity to pick up valuable points at this stage in the season.

Predicted Lineup - Luke McGee, Cameron Norman, Zak Bradshaw, Jordan Turnbull, Connor Wood, Connor Jennings, Saidou Khan, Regan Hendry, Omari Patrick, Harvey Saunders, Luke Norris

Tranmere Rovers started the season well picking up eight points from their opening four games. However since then they have been battered by both Gillingham and Colchester United conceding six and scoring none between both matches.

They now sit 16th in the table. Disappointing considering their fast start.

However coming up against a team that is evenly matched to them in the form of Salford City this could be a chance to turn around their form as of late and begin to improve again.

Salford City have sort of done the complete opposite to Tranmere. They had a slow start to the campaign but after a victory against MK Dons they have looked a lot better.

Now they are sat 15th in the table on eight points with this match a huge opportunity to push on and continue their good run of form. Putting the previous result against Walsall behind them.
