Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Concentration will be required as Shrewsbury and Burton go head-to-head, with almost nothing between the sides in terms of who might win. The statistics don't give us any conclusive evidence in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the game. That's a prediction available at best priced odds of 1.85 with the bookies, so we've made under 2.5 goals our tip of the day for this tie.
