Tranmere are running out of matches to make an impact on the National League title race but they have won more home games than any team in the division and should be too strong for mid-table Eastleigh at Prenton Park.

Five of Tranmere's last eight games of the season are at home and they probably have to win them all to challenge leaders Macclesfield, who are eight points above them.

But Rovers have the firepower to worry any team at this level with fowards James Norwood and Andy Cook on 16 and 17 league goals this season.

The pair should prove too strong for Eastleigh, who are without a win in their last six games.

Recommendation
Tranmere-Tranmere double result
1pt 23-20 Coral, Ladbrokes
