Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We think it's fairly unlikely that this game will have 4 goals or more, and the odds and stats point in the same direction as KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Shrewsbury and Barnet have seldom served up thrillers of late, whether that be in League Two individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, without a compelling favourite win or double chance market, we're recommending under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.25.
