Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Concentration will be required as Tranmere and Crewe go head-to-head, with little to choose between the players in terms of who might win. The stats don't provide any clear conclusion in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the fixture. That prediction is available at best priced odds of 1.62 with the bookies, so we're making under 2.5 goals our tip of the day on this one.
