Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Tranmere and Barrow take on each other at Prenton Park in what is expected to be a close League Two game. The Rovers suffered a 3-1 loss to Doncaster on Boxing Day and they face yet another tough challenge against the Bluebirds. As important defender Tom Davies misses Sunday’s clash through suspension, home win should not be considered.
Barrow, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Salford. Considering that both sides are eager to return to winning ways in the English fourth tier, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Kian Spence is rated doubtful for the visiting team after limping off with injury in the Boxing Day defeat. There are no other fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of Sunday’s encounter at Prenton Park.
Highlighted Team (Tranmere):
Based in Birkenhead, Merseyside, Tranmere Rovers are a professional club that compete in the League One. Tranmere were founded back in 1884 under the name of Belmont FC, with the football arms of cricket clubs Lyndhurst Wanderers and Belmont coming together. The club recorded their first win later in 1884 as they outclassed Brunswick Rovers 4-0.
Nowadays Tranmere Rovers play their home games at Prenton Park, the venue which can hold up to 15,567 people. The Rovers wear white shirts and blue shorts in home matches, but back in the 19th century orange and red were the dominating colours on their kit.
Tranmere fans see Bolton Wanderers as the club’s main rivals, but they have built a small rivalry with Chester City and Everton as well. The Prenton Park outfit did well to make it to the League Cup final in the 1993/1994 season, but Aston Villa proved to be a big catch for them in the title game.
