Forest Green vs Tranmere Prediction & Betting tips
Since last Friday, the “Modern-Day-Rivalry” between the Forest Green Rovers (Table 5, 74 points) and the Tranmere Rovers (Table 6, 73 points) has been enriched by another chapter. The Rovers from Merseyside were able to win the first leg in the semi-final playoff of fourth-tier League Two at home 1-0. After an early dismissal for FGR player Gavin Gunning, Ollie Banks scored the winner with a Vincent Kompany memory missile. Controversial after the final whistle was the referee’s lack of whistle after Green top scorer Christian Doidge was brought down in the penalty area. The bookmakers hold on Monday evening – in the fourth total meeting of both clubs this season – a home victory of the hosts for likely. This shows the quotas between Forest Green and Tranmere.
Despite over 75 minutes of Tranmere, the Birkenhead club failed to capitalize on numerical superiority. Accordingly, everything is still open for the return leg on Monday at The New Lawn in Nailsworth. While the “Super White Army” for the first time since 2014, the return to the League One aspires to create the direct run from the National League into League One, FGR has never played before third-rate. For the second leg, Forest Green against Tranmere sees our prediction a tip for a home win. To watch live is the spectacle at Sky Sports England. The away goals rule does not apply in the playoffs. For example, there would definitely be a prolongation in a 2-1 victory for the FGR.
Forest Green:
Since 2017, the Forest Green Rovers have become the first vegan football club in the world. Not only do players benefit from a vegan diet on training and match days, but also fans and visitors. For the home games is both the offer in the hospitality area, as well as at the food stalls vegan. However, the club’s commitment to the environment is still going strong. The field markings contain no chemicals, is only poured with collected rainwater and the electricity comes in part from the attached on the stadium roof solar system. Behind all of this is club owner Dale Vince, whose goal for the future is to have the greenest stadium in the world. Athletic Forest Green is aiming for promotion to the third-rate League One this season. Only in 2017 reached the club from Gloucestershire for the first time in the long club history (founded in 1889) the Football League. At that time also over the playoffs, when in the final of the National League Tranmere was defeated.
Forest Green has won five of their last eight regular season league games (5-1-2). However, the “green devils” have been without victory for three games since Friday’s loss (0-1-2). At home, Forest Green was ranked 16 out of 24 teams (8-9-6) after the regular season. Nonetheless, between Forest Green and Tranmere, our forecast recommends a tip on a home win. Only six teams scored fewer home goals (28) than FGR. Only Mansfield, MK Dons and Tranmere conceded fewer goals at home than Forest Green (20). Only Southend United (2015) has made it past the league table in fifth league season to reach the playoffs. The bookmakers consider a home win probably, but not the finals of the “green devils”, as in Forest Green Vs. Tranmere prove the odds. Gavin Gunning is missing.
Tranmere:
No team did not concede more in regular season than the Tranmere Rovers (19, like Colchester United). On Friday came in the semi-final playoff first leg another “white vest” added. The 1: 0 is certainly a good starting position for Monday, when Forest Green against Tranmere according to odds of all betting sites is the first contender for a win in the game. Nevertheless, the Rovers could have also provided an excellent constellation for the second leg. However, top-scorer James Norwood left plenty of good bullet holes unused. With 29 goals is the 28-year-old top scorer of League Two. In the entire Football League, only Teemu Pukki of Premier League star Norwich City has been as successful as Norwood this season. Tranmere currently participates for the seventh time in the promotion playoffs in the Football League.
For the club from Birkenhead it is the first participation since 2005. However, mastered the “Super White Army” only in 1991, the playoffs successfully. At that time in the third highest league. League One’s sixth in the last eleven seasons has been promoted twice via playoffs. However, Tranmere would have a good role model in Coventry as the former Premier League side won the playoffs last season. The season finale of the Rovers was not ideal. Only one victory has been achieved in the last seven games of the season (1-3-3). The final four could not all be won (0-2-2). All the more important was the 1-0 win on Friday. Between Forest Green and Tranmere our forecast still provides a tip for the “Green Devils”. Away Tranmere closed after the regular League Two campaign only on rank 13 (6-8-9). Only five of the 24 teams conceded more goals abroad than Tranmere (37). The Rovers have been without victory for four away matches (0-2-2).
