APWin Prediction

Under 2.5 Goals

APWin experts have analysed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: Fleetwood Town win or draw

Our top betting tip is Fleetwood Town to win or draw on the Double Chance market. What that means is Fleetwood Town, the home team, must win or draw for the bet to win, and we feel strongly that the match will end in one of those two outcomes.

We simply don't see Fleetwood Town losing to Shrewsbury Town. More than the gulf in quality between the two sides which is clear to see in the statistics, we also have a lot of belief in Fleetwood Town's ability to make home advantage count in this match.

👉 Our prediction is: Shrewsbury Town to win the 1st half

The various signs and statistics we have studied point to this being a one-sided affair, with the favoured Shrewsbury Town likely coming out on top away from home. Shrewsbury Town has simply been the superior team this season, whereas Fleetwood Town has struggled.

But for some added value, we recommend betting on Shrewsbury Town to win the first half, which would bring a higher potential payout.
