Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We don't believe there is a clear favourite to win this match, but does appear clear is that the odds suggest it'll have a maximum of 3 goals. Our statistical analysis is inline with them too. Newport and Tranmere have delivered plenty of under 3.5 goal games of late, and key performance stats point towards an extension of that record. We have confidence in predicting under 3.5 goals on Saturday afternoon, and the bookmakers have it priced at 1.22.
