History of the Bristol City v Tranmere Rovers fixture

Bristol City prepare to entertain Tranmere Rovers at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, having won 9 and lost only 3 of the 16 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ashton Gate was just last season, in October 2005, the Robins carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League One match.
