History of the Brighton & Hove Albion v Tranmere Rovers fixture

Brighton & HA are ready to welcome Tranmere Rovers to Withdean Stadium on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Seagulls are clearly on top, having won 7 and lost only 2 of the 13 games.

The previous match played between the two at Withdean Stadium was within the last three years, in February 2002, the Seagulls carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Division Two match.
