In a contest that could prove to be another cagey affair in midweek, Tranmere will host Morecambe for their play-off first-leg on Thursday evening.

Starting with the hosts, while Tranmere might have managed to snatch themselves a play-off spot, they did show a host of inconsistencies at the back end of the campaign. In their 46 League Two matchups this season, they recorded 20 wins, 13 draws and 13 defeats, scoring 55 and conceding 50 in return. Eventually managing to muster themselves a points tally of 73, they ended the 2020/21 campaign sat in that final play-off spot and holding a marginal two-point buffer. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 0-0 stalemate against Colchester on home soil, Tranmere managed to win just a pair of their last 11 League Two fixtures at the back end of the campaign. It should also be noted, Thursday’s hosts have seen six of their last seven fourth-tier matchups finish with under 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, although Morecambe might have enjoyed an eye-catching end to the campaign, they would have been heartbroken to have just missed out on a top-three finish. In their 46 League Two matchups so far this season, they have recorded 23 wins, nine draws and 14 defeats, scoring 69 and conceding 58 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 78, The Reds ended the 2020/21 campaign sat fourth in the table and just a single point adrift of securing an automatic promotion spot. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-0 win against Bradford on home soil, Morecambe ended their regular-season run by collecting 16 points from their last six fourth-tier contests. It should be noted, with each of their last three fixtures seeing under 2.5 goals by the final whistle, we’re backing a similar outcome in midweek.
