Recent respective form guides

Tranmere Rovers's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. Rovers have conceded a disappointing 11 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Brighton & HA's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Seagulls have hit 7 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Tranmere Rvs. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 7 points from their 12 games thus far. Brighton & HA find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 13 points from their 12 matches.
