We said: Tranmere Rovers 1-1 Barrow

Based on last season's league standings, the two sides should be fairly evenly-matched, so we are expecting a draw this weekend. Tranmere should be good enough to pick up at least a draw on home soil, especially considering Norris and Dennis could get some minutes after returning from injury, and they are more likely to take all three points.
