Barrow continue to search for stability, but their recent form of DLLDD leans toward a 2-1 win for Tranmere. Injuries to Smith, Healey, and Foley limit their options in attack and midfield, while their underlying numbers are concerning: an xGA of 1.70 overall and 1.55 at home suggests they concede too many good chances. Barrow do score consistently (1.50 goals per game), but their defence remains shaky, contributing to 60% BTTS overall.
The Rovers have been in a fine form of late, winning 3 of their last 5, and they’re particularly effective away from home, averaging 2.00 goals per away game. Even with Aaron McGowan still sidelined, the visitors have shown they can cover his absence. Their matches are extremely open—BTTS has landed in 90% of their games this season, including 100% away. The downside is their defence: zero clean sheets across all competitions.
Given Tranmere’s high-scoring pattern, Over 2.5 goals is our main betting prediction for this matchup, with additional value on BTTS and Tranmere to Win.
This League 2 match will be played on Tuesday 9 December 2025 at 19:45.
