Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

A tight, highly tactical defensive battle could be in store as Shrewsbury and Wigan go head-to-head, with almost nothing between the sides in defence, making it difficult to predict who will win. The statistics do not provide any proper confidence in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the fixture. It's a prediction which is available at best priced odds of 1.65 with the bookmakers, so we're making under 2.5 goals our tip of the day on this one.

Goal Statistics

An absolutely dreadful PG of just 0.8 should cause concerns for Shrewsbury Town fans, as should a 11 League One matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.

Goals have been difficult to come by for Wigan Athletic of late. It has been 9 League One games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Friday afternoon against Shrewsbury Town.
