Plymouth prepare to entertain Tranmere Rovers at Home Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Pilgrims are clearly on top, winning 53.85% of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Home Park was less than a year ago, in February 2003, with Tranmere inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Pilgrims in a League Division Two match.
