REF’s picks

Neither side of the match result market offers enough reward at its current price to back a clear favourite outright, so looking toward the goal lines provides a much safer angle. Tranmere's stubborn defensive approach away from home points directly toward a tighter contest than the odds suggest. Under 2.5 goals stands out as the most realistic play on the board.

1. 1Tranmere have struggled to create fluid attacks on their travels, often keeping scores low.
2. 2Chesterfield's recent matches have occasionally lacked a clinical edge against deep blocks.
3. 3An early goal for the hosts could force Tranmere out of their defensive shell and ruin the under.
