Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

A real chess match could be in store as Tranmere and Chesterfield go head-to-head, with little to choose between the sides in defence, making it difficult to predict who will win. The statistics don't give us any clear conclusion in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the game. That prediction is available at best priced odds of 1.75 with the bookmakers, so we've made under 2.5 goals our tip of the day for this tie.
