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.

An away win looks like the most likely outcome in the win/draw/win market, with our predictive algorithm suggesting there’s a 42% chance of Wigan coming away with a win.

Goal Statistics

An absolutely dismal PG of just 0.8 should cause concerns for Shrewsbury Town fans, as should a 10 League One games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.

Goals have been a problem for Wigan Athletic of late. It has been 8 League One games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Friday afternoon against Shrewsbury Town.
