Tranmere Betting Favourites to Win

The bookies have Tranmere Rovers at -108 when it comes to Full-Time Result. This implies that the favourites are 52% likely to win this League Two encounter according to the latest betting odds. Shrewsbury Town are the underdogs at +285 which implies a lesser percentage prospect of winning.

You can choose Tranmere -0.5 or Shrewsbury +0.5 at respective Asian Handicap odds of -110 and -118. The former is the same as betting the favourites to win, with the latter giving you a return if it’s a draw.

The Total Goals market always provides an interesting angle and Under 2.5 Goals is the shortest-priced option. If you believe this suggests that there will be a one-sided or low-scoring affair, then BTTS No could be a great pick at -143.
