Tranmere Rovers F.C. welcome the visitors Tottenham Hotspur F.C. in the English FA Cup – 1/32 Finals. The match will be held on Friday, January, 4th, at the Prenton Park (Birkenhead).
The format of the Football Association Challenge Cup made it possible for Tranmere Rovers F.C. to reach the 1/32 Finals; they struggled on the way though. The team competed with representatives of the Vanarama National League (South and North), but even that way they had to replay the matches because of the draws. That said, on their turf, Tranmere contrived to play 3:3 against Oxford United, letting them to be ahead thrice along the match. In the English Football League Two, actually, the welcoming side are not blistering, currently sitting just 9th in the table.

Following their defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, Tottenham Hotspur F.C. have bounced back in the next round and beat Cardiff City. Thus, the ‘Spurs’ have picked up 6 wins in 7 latest matches. Their loss to the ‘Wolves’ was no sensational, frankly speaking, given that the opponent have taken points from Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea in this campaign. So, the Londoners keep pursuing Liverpool and fight for the gold medals. In cup competitions, they also try to progress as much as possible. In the English Football League Cup, for example, they advanced to semi-final, gaining a confident win over West Ham United and Arsenal away from home.
Some rotation is expected from Pochettino on Friday. The guests’ manager will try Llorente, Winks, Skipp, and other reserve players. Even at this, however, the opponents feature a tremendous difference in their class. Yet by the League Two standards, Tranmere are rather frugal. In 26 rounds, they allowed 32 goals, while their playoff rivals play safer in defense. In fact, Tranmere had a chance to oppose a higher class team, but the outcome was pitiful – they lost in the Football League Trophy to Shrewsbury Town, 6:0. Pochettino will keep his leaders sideline, but they will play, if there is a need. Furthermore, considering the guests’ smashout wins over Everton, Bournemouth, and Cardiff City, Tranmere’s chances to lose by a minimum goal margin are not great.
Prediction for the match: Tottenham Hotspur F.C. to win with -2.0 handicap.
