Prediction: 1-2
Tranmere
Forest Green and Tranmere Rovers take on each other at The New Lawn in what is expected to be a close League Two encounter. The Green Army are eager to escape the relegation zone and we are positive that they are going to leave their hearts on the field this time out. Both Bunker and Oyedele are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, with McAllister and Stevens likely to drop to the bench.
The Rovers, on the other hand, rolled over Stockport 4-0 at the weekend, with the team producing their best performance of the season. Given Forest Green’s poor display in a 2-0 loss to Crawley Town, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Jordan Turnbull, who scored a brace in the last league fixture.

Born in Trowbridge, England, on October 30, 1994, Jordan Turnbull is a professional footballer who plays for Northampton Town as a defender. Turnbull is a product of Swindon Town football academy, but in 2007 he was spotted by Southampton scouts.
