If Tranmere Rovers are to emerge victorious then one man who is undoubtedly going to have a big impact is star striker James Norwood. The 28-year-old finished as the league’s top scorer with 29 goals to his name in all competitions, and although he failed to score in the first leg, the fact that he had a number of very good chances means he is still finding the space and should be able to bag a goal this time around.
A quick glance at the odds and it immediately becomes apparent that the bookies fancy Forest Green Rovers to get the job done over 90 minutes and have priced the match accordingly. However, it is not an assessment that we agree with and when you consider the average home record of the hosts and the fact that they did not look all that threatening first time around, albeit with a man less for the majority of the game, then we think backing the visitors to get a win is the way to go. However, it is also important to note that Tranmere are a lot more open defensively on the road, so adding the safety net of the ‘Draw – No Bet’ looks to be a wise move to make.
