Best Tip: Both teams to score

After looking at our match predictions, bookmakers' odds and relevant statistics, there's one market which catches the eye for this meeting: both teams to score. In Shrewsbury and Blackpool we have two sides going head-to-head that regularly score, but equally have trouble shutting the opposition out, and we expect them to maintain that reputation on Wednesday evening. BTTS – yes best odds: 1.70.
