Prediction: 2-1
Tranmere
County Ground will host Saturday’s football game between Swindon Town and Tranmere Rovers, the two teams who are almost level on points in the League Two standings. The Robins aim to put an end to their three-game winless run and a win over Tranmere will see them move closer to the playoffs berth. Goalkeeper Lewis Ward has left the club, while new signing Conor McCarthy is likely to make his Town debut against Nigel Adkins’ troops.
Tranmere, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back losses to Barrow and MK Dons, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home side. As for the away team, all Luke Norris, Jake Leake, Harvey Saunders, and Jean Belehouan remain in the recovery room, while Lee O’Connor could play some part in Saturday’s game after overcoming his injury.
