What to expect
We expect about 1.6 goals from Fleetwood Town and 0.9 from Shrewsbury, so Fleetwood Town come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Shrewsbury come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Fleetwood Town to win. Fleetwood Town are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.6-0.9), and we make them about 60% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
We put the chance of that landing at about 60 out of 100. The price on offer is 2.09, which works out at about 48 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.
One thing to watch
Favourites drop points more often than a short price suggests, and one moment can earn Shrewsbury a draw or better. We make it about 60%: a lean, not a lock.
