Recent respective form guides

Brighton & Hove Albion's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Seagulls have scored 9, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Tranmere Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. A generous 6 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Brighton & HA are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 35 points from their 37 games thus far. Tranmere Rvs. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League One, picking up 62 from their 39 games so far.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Seagulls at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Rovers come away with an easy victory. Away win
