Karl Robinson’s side heads into the match following their home loss to Chesterfield on Tuesday night. Even so, there were definitely advantages to be gained from the performance; the Ammies forced Zach Hemming into two superb first-half saves.

Ryan Graydon hit the woodwork in the second half and registered fourteen more shots on the Chesterfield goal before a late deflected shot in stoppage time dealt Salford’s first loss in ten contests.

The Stats between the two sides

Tranmere have lately dropped their last two EFL meetings with Salford (both in 2025 – 0-2 in February and 1-3 in September), but they only lost one of their first nine (W4 D4).

Following their 3-1 triumph at home earlier this season, Salford will be aiming to complete an EFL league double over Tranmere for the first time.

While Tranmere have not lost four in a row since January–February 2020, when they were in League One (a run of five), they have lost each of their last three home league games.

Having won their last three away league matches, Salford City last won four in a row in the same season in September/October 2022.
