Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Concentration will be required as Shrewsbury and Wrexham go head-to-head, with little to choose between the players in defence, making it difficult to predict who will win. The stats do not give us any conclusive evidence in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the match. It's a prediction which is available at best priced odds of 1.65 with the bookies, so we're making under 2.5 goals our tip of the day on this one.
