A 0-0 draw against Port Vale will be viewed as a positive outcome for Tranmere Rovers and a valuable point into the bargain.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 10 goals and some valuable points in the process.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.  

It's been a mixed run of form at Prenton Park for Tranmere recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games.

In their last match Walsall enforced their superiority over Swindon Town with a 4-0 away win.  

Supremo Mat Sadler will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 11 goals they've managed to net.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

They have been enduring a less than rewarding period of form away from home at the moment, during which they have lost 3 and only picked up 2 wins from their last 6 matches.  

Taylor Allen will be hoping to create problems for Tranmere Rovers in this one, having scored 3 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Walsall.
