Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there isn't an obvious winner here, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Cheltenham and Tranmere will score at least a couple of goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Steve Cotterill or Peter Wild has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s of late either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.33 equating to about a 76% probability.

Goal Statistics

Cheltenham Town's fans will be hoping for goals on Tuesday evening, not least because Tranmere Rovers have conceded in each of their last 6 League Two outings. A PG of 1.6 for S. Cotterill's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been difficult to come by for Tranmere Rovers of late. It has been 12 League Two matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Tuesday evening against Cheltenham Town.
