Gas Win on the Cards According to the Bookies

The bookies have Bristol Rovers as -115 favourites for this League Two clash, with the Full-Time Result betting odds implying that they are 53% likely to win. The +270 means that Tranmere Rovers are seen as having the lowest probability of succeeding.

Bristol Rovers are -119 on the Asian Handicap -0.5 which is the same as a victory on the Full-Time Result. The alternative is to oppose the favourites and get the draw onside by going for Tranmere +0.5 at -114 instead.
