Rovers return to home soil to take on Salford City at Prenton Park this Saturday in an earlier kick off time of 12:30pm.
Keith Hill’s men will be looking to respond from a disappointing defeat against Walsall on Tuesday night which left Rovers in 5th position in League Two.
Salford City, managed by Gary Bowyer, occupy the 10th place in the division and are four points outside of the play off positions. Their recent run of six games has resulted in two wins, one draw and three defeats.
The reverse fixture ended in a 2-2 in remarkable circumstances after Rovers were down to very limited numbers following a Covid 19 outbreak.

Jay Spearing will miss this game following a red card in midweek.

One to watch
Striker, Ian Henderson.
The veteran striker signed for The Ammies at the beginning of this season having made the step down from League One.
Starting his career at Norwich City, Henderson spent five years at Carrow Road and even won promotion to the Premier League.
Following spells at Northampton, Luton and even Ankararagucu in Turkey, Henderson settled at Colchester United. He spent three years with the U’s, making 118 appearances.
The next seven years would see the striker team up with Keith Hill at Rochdale and enjoy the most prolific time of his career, netting 112 times in just under 300 appearances.
He joined Salford this summer and has since notched 15 goals in all competitions and leads the goal scoring ranks for Gary Bowyer’s side.
