Tranmere Rovers vs Cheltenham Town predictions headline the League Two programme at Prenton Park, where Tranmere welcome third-placed Cheltenham Town on Saturday 31 October, with kick-off at 3pm (UK time).
Cheltenham arrive high up the table but with a glaring split in their form, superb at home and far less convincing on the road. Tranmere, meanwhile, are hard to beat and have the recent head-to-head firmly in their favour.
Our best bets side with the hosts and a game that should bring goals at both ends between two well-matched sides.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has run the rule over the League Two card and settled on two selections for Tranmere Rovers vs Cheltenham Town, backing the hosts to make home advantage tell.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Dylan Jones to score anytime | 13/8 (bet365) | Dylan Jones has been Tranmere’s most reliable source of goals and is a short enough price to suggest the bookmakers expect him to be involved again. The hosts have scored in the bulk of their home games and should create chances against a Cheltenham defence that has kept just one clean sheet all season and leaked 12 goals in six away trips. With Tranmere expected to carry the greater threat at Prenton Park, their main marksman looks the natural one to be on the scoresheet at a tempting price. |
| Over 12.5 corners | 14/5 (BoyleSports) | Cheltenham’s open, high-scoring style tends to make for stretched, entertaining games, and that often translates into a healthy corner count. They have been involved in 44 goals across 13 matches this season, a sign of just how end-to-end their fixtures can be. Tranmere will push for the win at home and should force plenty of pressure, while Cheltenham chase the game if they fall behind. In a fixture that promises territory at both ends, backing the corners to clear a middling line makes sense at nearly 3/1. |

How Tranmere Rovers go into the game
Tranmere Rovers go into the weekend 13th in League Two on 16 points, with a level goal difference from their 13 games. The Super White Army have been difficult to beat, drawing seven times already, and at Prenton Park they have lost just once, winning two and drawing three of six.
They come in off a 1-1 draw at Crawley last time out, another in a run of stalemates, and will fancy their chances against a Cheltenham side that has struggled away from home.
How Cheltenham Town go into the game
Cheltenham Town have been one of the surprise packages, sitting third on 21 points despite a goal difference of exactly zero. They are a watchable side, scoring 22 goals but also conceding plenty, and they have kept just one clean sheet in 13 games.
That defensive generosity is a particular problem on the road, where Cheltenham have won only once in six, losing three and conceding 12 away from home. They did beat Newport 1-0 at home last time out, but Prenton Park represents a far tougher test.
