Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Tranmere play host to Barrow at their Prenton Park in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. The Super Whites proved their worth in back-to-back wins over Salford City and Walsall, and a triumph over Barrow will see them move closer to the playoffs places. Elliott Nevitt, who scored a late winner against the Saddlers, is pushing for a rare start.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to league leaders Leyton, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the in-form hosts this time out. Both Brough and Moyo are pushing for recalls to the starting line-up, while midfielder Josh Kay misses out through suspension. In their last meeting at Prenton Park Tranmere defeated Barrow 2-0, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Player (Jordan Turnbull):
Born in Trowbridge, England, on October 30, 1994, Jordan Turnbull is a professional footballer who plays for Northampton Town as a defender. Turnbull is a product of Swindon Town football academy, but in 2007 he was spotted by Southampton scouts.
Despite signing a professional contract with Southampton, he did not see any game action with the Saints at senior level. The English footballer made no fewer than 86 league appearances for Swindon Town during his loan spell with the Robins, and in 2016 he signed a contract with Coventry City.
Jordan Turnbull spent the 2017/2018 on loan Partick Thistle before joining Northampton Town permanently. Speaking of his international career, the Northampton centre-back has two caps with the England U19 team, and one cap with the England U20. Jordan Turnbull, who is used as a left-back as well, wears the number 6 jersey at Northampton Town. His preferred foot is left.
Highlighted Team (Barrow):
Founded back in 1901, Barrow is an English club that competes in the League two, the fourth tier of the English football system. The Bluebirds are well known for their blue shirts with white details, but yellow is the dominant colour of their away jersey. Barrow play home games at Holker Street, the stadium which can hold up to 5,045 spectators.
The venue was opened in 1909, and it has to be noted that no fewer than 16,874 people attended the FA Cup match between Barrow and Swansea in January, 1954. The Bluebirds have won two FA Trophies (1989/90, 2009/10), with the team lifting the Lancashire Senior Cup trophy in the 1954/55.
The likes of James Bell, Jim Collins, Andy McLaren, Jimmy Mulholland, Jackie Robertson, Barry Diamond, and George King are the most notable footballers who played for Barrow in the past. It has to be noted that the Bluebirds have never competed in the English top flight.
