Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Maybe it'd be too strong to say that we expect Nigel Adkins and David Artell to park the bus here, but we do not expect a glut of goals as Tranmere and Grimsby go head-to-head. The stats belowpoint towards there being under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we reckon that looks like a strong prediction. With best odds of 1.75 available on under 2.5 goals and no obvious match winner in sight, that's the bet we'd advise you go for.
