Prediction

If Town can avoid conceding the first goal then we’ll stand a strong chance of a victory against Tranmere Rovers. Swindon have a very good record as hosts against the Wirral side and given they’ve continued their slump in form from last season, Town surely look favourites to remain unbeaten at the County Ground in League One.

Final-score: 3-0 to Swindon
