Amond v Norwood: League Two showdown

League Two hotshots James Norwood and Padraig Amond will go head to head this Saturday - with promotion on the line. 

Tranmere Rovers and Newport County are set to face off in the League Two play-off final at Wembley on Saturday - and Amond and Norwood will both be looking to maintain the incredibly high standards they have both set this season. 

With 30 league goals to his name, Norwood is out on his own as the top scorer across the top 4 tiers this season, while Irishman Amond's form has seen him inspire County during a monumental FA Cup run and earn international recognition.  

The stakes are high - and so is the bar set by both forwards this season. In terms of involvement in goals in 2018/19, Amond and Norwood are neck and neck: the Newport striker scoring 23 goals and laying on 10 assists, while Rovers' hotshot Norwood has scored a remarkable 32 goals, also laying on another two. 

It certainly promises to be a cracking encounter - that could potentially see Tranmere promoted via the play-offs for the second consecutive season following their National League success last year.
