Shrewsbury vs Wrexham Betting Tips: BTTS and Over 2.5 Goals

Shrewsbury enters Sunday’s FA Cup contest following a 3-1 triumph over Fleetwood Town in League One on New Year’s Day. Before their recent victory, Matt Taylor’s team suffered four consecutive losses. The visiting team is excelling in League Two, now in third place in the division, only two points behind leading Stockport County. On the other hand, Shrewsbury is struggling, currently in 13th place in League One.

Though Shrews are predicted to move forward, I anticipate Wrexham to step up their game and potentially cause a cup upset. It seems probable that there will be goals from both sides as both teams have been part of numerous high-scoring games this season. Shrewsbury witnessed more than 2.5 goals in their recent five home matches, with both teams scoring in four of those games.

In seven out of their last nine games, the visiting team has scored more than 2.5 goals, and both teams have scored in four of their last six games.

For the first time in over fifteen years, we anticipate an entertaining competition between two teams that are likely to be evenly matched, despite the away team playing at a lower level.

Ultimately, I expect plenty of goal mouth action with the BTTS pick looking the most secure. I also fancy at least three goals scored while I would not be surprised to see the Red Dragons score another away day victory.
