Tranmere Rovers vs Chichester City FC Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by Steve Ashfield | in FA Cup Predictions
Chichester City have already had a great deal of luck in the FA Cup this season. Saturday sees the 9th placed Isthmian League team travel to Tranmere Rovers who are 20th in League One. This is the first time the non-leaguers have reached the second round. The dream of winning and getting drawn against a Premier League side in the third round is what makes this a great cup competitiion. Chichester must love cup draws, especially the one made for the first round. With Bury having been expelled, whoever was drawn out last would receive a bye to the second round. That's just what happened to Chichester but will their luck run out this weekend?
The non-league side have been so busy in the FA Cup (well apart from the first round) that they have only played ten league games this season. They are four points behind the final promotion play-off position but with three games in hand. If they won those games in hand, they'd only be a point behind the league leaders. To reach this stage, Chichester have had to play seven matches, including such well known teams such as Bowers & Pitsea, Bridon Ropes and Hartley Wintney. Only two of their last six away FA Cup ties have been won.
Tranmere are no strangers when it comes to making it to Wembley. They have won play-off finals there for the past two seasons, making their way from the National League to League One. Rovers have had their struggles this season and are only one place above the relegation zone. However, they caused a shock in the first round of the FA Cup when winning away at League One leaders Wycombe Wanderers. They drew at home but then beat them in the replay. Tranmere have only lost one of their last seven FA Cup ties, that was in the third round last season when losing 7-0 at home to Tottenham. Go for Tranmere to get the win here and be ahead at both half and full time.

Our Tranmere Rovers vs Chichester City FC Prediction
The magic of the FA Cup is a joy to behold and a win for Chichester City would be a great result for them. It's already the biggest day in their history but the chances of them getting a win look slim. Tranmere are four leagues above them and know the non-league style of play after their time in the National League. The first round saw them beat Wycombe, the highest ranked side in the competition at this stage. Now they host the lowest ranked team left and can win this game leading at both half and full time.
Prediction :
Half Time: Tranmere Rovers, Full Time: Tranmere Rovers
