Barnet vs Tranmere prediction
Dean Brennan’s Barnet missed out on the top seven and the play-off places in League Two last season following winning the National League the year before. This time around, despite big name losses in the summer, they have improved again as they sit second in the fourth-tier but with one win in their last four matches in the league.
Tranmere Rovers have continued their surge towards the top seven and the play-off places with a good run of form of late. The Merseysiders came from behind to ease past Cheltenham Town by three goals to one at Prenton Park last week, courtesy of a brace scored by in-form Norwich City loanee Dylan Jones.
There could be a bit of rotation here and that should level things out but Barnet have to remain the team to be sided with, with their home advantage on Saturday.
Barnet vs Tranmere tip: Double chance – Barnet to win or draw
