Tranmere will take on Shrewsbury in a lunchtime kick-off in League Two on Saturday. Rovers finished 20th in League Two last season, while The Shrews were relegated from League One after finishing bottom. How will the teams fare here? Let's dig into a prediction.
Both teams drew their opening game of the 2025/26 season. Tranmere picked up a point away at Colchester, conceding in the 87th minute after taking an early lead. Shrewsbury were held to a goalless home draw by Bromley.
Only five sides in League Two picked up more home points last season than Colchester, so Tranmere will perhaps be the happier of the two sides with a point on the opening weekend.
They were the stronger team in the early stages, although they had to deal with a late penalty claim after Colchester had levelled things.
Bromley had the better of the early exchanges against Shrewsbury, with the home side not really threatening. Both teams only had two shots on target in their openers, but only had two shots on target against. This has the look of another tight contest.
