Prediction: 2-2
Tranmere
Barrow and Tranmere square off against each other at Holker Street in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. The Bluebirds aim to make amends for a heavy 4-1 loss to Wrexham and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Both Worrall and Stephenson limped off with injuries in the last league match, with both Proctor and Ogungbo likely to step up.
The Rovers, on the other hand, look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive league win. Given Tranmere’s attacking potential, we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be experienced forward Connor Jennings, who produced a brilliant performance in a 4-2 win over Notts County.
