I was very disappointed with Zenit yesterday as AZ got a 1-1 draw despite
being down to 10 men for the whole of the 2nd half, but hopefully we can
get back on track with todays effort.
Tranmere take on Huddersfield in League 1 tonight. Tranmere a 6th in the
league and a win tonight would take them top of the league on goal
difference from Leyton Orient. The one home defeat they have suffered was
at the hands of Leeds Utd in the first home game of the season when they
lost 2-1 after being 1-0 only to lose to a last minute goal.
Their league record so far is won 5 drawn 5 and lost 2 scoring 15 and
conceding 10 and their home record reads won 2 drawn 3 lost 1 for 8
against 6. The only note of caution is that in their last 6 games they
have won 1 drawn 4 lost 1 for 6 against 6 with all the 3 home games they
have played in that time being drawn.
Huddersfield sit 16th in the league and have a record so far of W4 D2 L6
F10 A19, however on the road they have won 2 and lost 4 of their 6 games
played scoring 3 and conceding 12. Form wise over the last 6 games they
have 1 win 2 draws and 3 defeats but the stat which makes me favour
Tranmere tonight is the fact that on the road in their last 3 away games
they have lost the lot scoring 0 and conceding 9, the defeats came at
Doncaster (2-0), Walsall (4-0) and Northampton (3-0) all three teams that
sit in mid table.
I saw the Doncaster game on TV and Huddersfield were lucky in my opinion
to coming away with just a 2-0 defeat as they offered very little in the
way of an attacking threat on that day.
The head to head record over the last 10 games for those who go by this
particular stat definitely favours Tranmere at home with 4 wins and 1
draw, all the games in this time have taken place in league 1.

Team news at this early stage is that Tranmere will hand a debut to
on-loan Cardiff midfielder Kevin Cooper who came to the club earlier this
week whilst Midfielder Adnan Ahmed is unavailable as he is playing for
Pakistan in their World Cup qualifying campaign.
Malvin Kamara (ankle) and Ronnie Wallwork (bruised foot) are both expected
to shake off knocks in time to make Huddersfield's squad.
But striker Andy Booth (back), skipper Jon Worthington (groin/stomach) and
Tom Clarke (knee) remain sidelined, while Aaron Hardy (hernia) has had
surgery.
So despite Tranmere`s lack of form recently I am taking them to get back
on track tonight with a win as I cannot see Huddersfield getting anything
from tonight's encounter especially without Andy Booth to lead the line.
Good Luck,
Silverfox.
