History of the Tranmere Rovers v Wrexham fixture

Tranmere Rvs. prepare to entertain Wrexham at Prenton Park at lunchtime on Saturday, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rovers are clearly on top, winning 56.86% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Prenton Park was less than a year ago, in September 2003, with Wrexham inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Rovers in a League Division Two match.
