Sutton Utd v Tranmere

Sutton United vs Tranmere Rovers Preview

Next up is an important clash down near the bottom of the League Two table as bottom placed hosts, Sutton United, play host to third from bottom visitors, Tranmere Rovers, at the VBS Community Stadium with Sutton United looking to build upon their mini revival while Tranmere Rovers will be keen to replicate last weekend's result against Forest Green Rovers when they make their way to Gander Green Lane this Saturday.

Sutton United find themselves bottom of the division but the hosts have managed to pick up four points from their last two games courtesy of a 2-1 home win against Bradford City followed by a solid point on the road in a 1-1 draw at Colchester United, so this will give Matt Gray's side a welcome boost of confidence heading into this upcoming basement battle.

The season started so brightly though for Sutton United who registered a 5-1 thumping of newcomers Notts County on the opening day of the season but things quickly turned sour for the hosts as they slumped to 10 games without a win which consisted of nine defeats and a draw.

Nevertheless, Sutton have won two of their last three games at home and this gives Gray's side a decent chance of adding to their points tally here.

Tranmere Rovers occupy third from bottom position in the League Two table and hold a two-point buffer between themselves and their upcoming hosts, Sutton United, thanks to last weekend's comprehensive 3-0 home win against Forest Green Rovers which halted a previous slide of four league defeats on the trot.

The visitors had previously been dealt losses by Crewe Alexandra, Doncaster Rovers, Morecambe and Stockport County respectively and although Rovers have managed to pick up four wins in total so far this season which has kept them out of trouble for the time being, it should be noted that all of these victories were recorded on home soil at Prenton Park.

Switch to results away from home and you'll quickly realise that Tranmere Rovers possess the worst away record in League Two as the visitors have lost all eight of their away trips so far this season, along with managing to muster a measly four goals on their travels as well.

Within these eight away games so far this season, Tranmere have also failed to score on five occasions while the bigger picture shows the visitors have captured just two wins from their last 24 outings on the road.
