Barnet will aim for a fourth straight win over Tranmere Rovers when the sides meet in the FA Cup first round at The Hive Stadium on Saturday 7 November, a 3.00pm kick-off with a place in round two at stake.
Barnet sit second in League Two and have won each of the last three meetings with Tranmere Rovers, who arrive 11th in the same division. We have worked through the Barnet vs Tranmere Rovers odds for our best bets, two premium picks and a score prediction below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has studied the Barnet vs Tranmere Rovers odds and expects the in-form hosts to edge a competitive all-League Two tie.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Kabongo Tshimanga to score anytime | 27/20 (Betfred) | Kabongo Tshimanga is Barnet’s top scorer with ten League Two goals in 13 games and has started their last three matches. Barnet have scored in every league game this season, averaging more than two goals a match, and Tranmere have kept only two clean sheets in seven away games. Tshimanga is the focal point of the division’s second-placed side, and 27/20 with Betfred is a fair price for him to score again. |
| Barnet to win and over 3.5 goals | 3/1 (Sky Bet) | Barnet’s games are rarely quiet. Eight of their 13 League Two matches have produced four or more goals, including five of their seven at The Hive, and five of their seven league wins have featured at least four goals. They have scored in every game but are yet to keep a clean sheet, so Tranmere should chip in at the other end. A Barnet win in a high-scoring tie is worth backing at 3/1. |

How Barnet go into the game
Barnet are flying in League Two, sitting second on 26 points with just one defeat all season. Last time out they drew 1-1 away at Crewe Alexandra.
That followed a run of home games bringing a 3-1 win over York City, a 1-1 draw with Oldham Athletic and a 3-1 defeat to Swindon Town, with a 2-1 win away at Tranmere Rovers the oldest of their last five. Crucially, the hosts have scored in every game but are yet to keep a clean sheet, so goals at both ends have been the theme.
How Tranmere Rovers go into the game
Tranmere Rovers have made a habit of sharing the spoils, drawing seven of their 14 League Two games, and sit 11th on 19 points. Last time out they beat Cheltenham Town 3-1 at home.
Before that they drew 1-1 at Crawley Town, won 1-0 at Northampton Town and lost 2-1 at home to Barnet, with a 1-1 home draw against Rochdale the oldest of their last five. On the road, though, Tranmere have won just once in seven and scored only seven times, which is a concern against a free-scoring Barnet side.
Barnet vs Tranmere Rovers head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17/10/26 | Tranmere Rovers | 1-2 | Barnet |
| 27/01/26 | Barnet | 1-0 | Tranmere Rovers |
| 11/10/25 | Tranmere Rovers | 0-2 | Barnet |
These sides have met three times in recent seasons and Barnet have won the lot, scoring five and conceding once. Most recently the hosts won 2-1 at Prenton Park last month, following a 1-0 home win and a 2-0 away success the season before. Tranmere Rovers will have to end that run to reach round two.

Barnet vs Tranmere Rovers score prediction
On current form, Barnet are the side to beat, unbeaten away and scoring freely, and they have beaten Tranmere Rovers three times in a row. Tranmere are stubborn and draw plenty, so this need not be comfortable, and a tight tie that is level after 90 minutes could go to extra time or penalties. We still fancy the hosts to come through with a bit to spare in a high-scoring tie. Score prediction: Barnet 3-1 Tranmere Rovers.
