While there will be plenty of focus on international football, the League Two schedule continues this weekend, as Fleetwood Town prepare to host Tranmere Rovers at Highbury Stadium on Saturday.
Fleetwood come into this weekend’s encounter down in 16th place on 17 points, while Tranmere are only two points better off in 11th spot.
Games between these sides in the league have been drab affairs and there’s little to suggest Saturday’s encounter in Lancashire will be any different.
Fleetwood Town v Tranmere Rovers Tips Summary
Best Bet - Draw @ 12/5
Alternative Bet - Correct Score 0-0 @ 10/1
Bet Builder - Rhys Bennett & Lewis McCann to be booked @ 19/2
Fleetwood Town v Tranmere Rovers Prediction
Best Bet: Draw @ 12/5
Tranmere have enjoyed a recent upturn in fortunes in the league, with two wins and a draw in their last three outings.
However, this weekend Rovers come up against a Fleetwood side who have proved to be a tough nut for them to crack in recent years.
Three of the last four League Two encounters between these teams have ended in draws and it would be easy to see these sides play out another stalemate on Saturday.
At odds of 12/5, there’s value to be had in seeing these teams share the spoils in Lancashire this weekend.
Alternative Bet: Correct Score 0-0 @ 10/1
An alternative bet that pushes the boat out with odds of 10/1, a goalless draw is certainly worth considering.
In those three draws in the last four league meetings between these sides, all of those ended goalless.
In fact, only one goal has been scored across the last four meetings between the teams and the last two meetings at Highbury Stadium both ended 0-0.
With that in mind, goals might well be at a premium once again on Saturday.
Fleetwood Town v Tranmere Rovers Bet Builder Tip
Rhys Bennett to be booked
Lewis McCann to be booked
Pays @ 19/2
While goals might prove elusive in Saturday’s showdown in the north west, there are reasons to believe the referee will be in the thick of the action.
Fleetwood’s Rhys Bennett and Lewis McCann have both frequented the referee’s book on a number of occasions in recent weeks and both are fancied to pick up a booking in this 19/2 Bet Builder.
Bennett has picked up three yellows in his last four league appearances and has already served a suspension this season.
McCann has picked up three yellows in his last five League Two outings and it would be little surprise to see him and Bennett add more cards to their growing collection against Tranmere.
