If you’re keen on betting across various leagues and markets, our Live Bets page showcases active accumulator bets and real-time tips.

Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It would probably be a little strong to say that we expect Michael O'Neill and Neil Critchley to batten down the hatches here, but we certainly don't expect to see a flood of goals as Shrewsbury and Cambridge go head-to-head. The statistics belowsuggest there will be under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we're saying that looks like a strong prediction. With best odds of 1.73 available on under 2.5 goals and nothing too eyecatching in the full time result market, that's the bet we'd advise you go for.

An away win looks like the most likely outcome in the win/draw/win market, with our predictive algorithm suggesting there’s a 44% chance of Cambridge coming away with a win.
