Under 2.5 goals means, quite simply, that there will be a maximum of 2 goals scored in total by Crewe and Tranmere during the regulation 90 minutes. It's a bet the stats below and the odds both suggest is worth considering, and an outcome that we've seen these sides produce before. With no obvious winner in sight, our best bet prediction for this one is under 2.5.
