Tranmere and Barrow square off against each other at Prenton Park in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. Therefore, we predict that the two teams will play out a 1-1 draw on Matchday 23. The Rovers have been in solid form recently, winning three of their last five matches and averaging 1.60 PPG overall. At home, they maintain 1.67 PPG, scoring 1.50 goals per match with an expected goals of 1.68, while BTTS has occurred in 67% of their home games. Their attack and consistent goal threat make them a dangerous side in open contests. Luke McGee and Josh Williams are injured but were not missed in their Boxing Day win over Fleetwood Town.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, have struggled for consistency, collecting only 0.70 PPG over their last five matches. Away from home, they average 1.00 PPG and 1.67 goals scored per match, while BTTS has featured in 83% of their road games. Their defensive vulnerabilities are evident, conceding 1.59 xGA per game. Foley, Healey, and Smith remain sidelined, but the visitors are capable of filling the gaps.
As both teams are prone to scoring and conceding, Over 1.5 goals (68% H2H) seems like a sure bet, alongside BTTS (53% H2H) and Half-Time Draw.
This League 2 match will be played on Monday 29 December 2025 at 19:45.
