Can Tranmere Rovers cling onto an automatic promotion spot?

Micky Mellons men looked well placed for promotion until the last week in which they’ve lost twice.

Last weekend, Rovers were beaten 1-0 at Walsall before a midweek defeat at Hartlepool United by the same scoreline.

Tranmere remain second but need to address their poor week if they’re to stay there.

Port Vale meanwhile are pushing for a play-off place.

Darrell Clarke’s side are unbeaten in five but three of these have ended all square, including a goalless draw with Northampton at Vale Park a week ago.

This leaves the Valiants ninth, four points below the play-off line.

Will there be a winner at Prenton Park?
