Bolton Wanderers will be looking to make it five wins in a row in all competitions when they face Shrewsbury away from home on Tuesday night.
If there's something that has given Shrewsbury joy this season, it's their home form. The Shrews currently sit six places below where they finished the 2022-23 campaign but they are simply fantastic to watch at New Meadow. Matthew Taylor's men hosted Colchester in the FA Cup first round on Saturday afternoon, looking to make it three home wins in a row. Shrewsbury came away with a 3:2 win but will have a tougher challenge on Tuesday.
Bolton meanwhile are the fifth-best away team in the English third division. Ian Evatt's men enjoyed a good start to the season which saw them record four consecutive wins across all competitions. The Wanderers experienced a dip in form between August and mid-September but have since returned to form (seven wins in the last eight games).
Shrewsbury vs Bolton Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Shrewsbury have the joint-best defence of any team in the bottom twelve but have shown defensive frailties in recent games. The Shrews conceded at least two goals in each of their last three games, and only one of those games ended with two or fewer goals.
Bolton's forward line has made little or no mistakes in recent games. The Wanderers boast at least two goals in five of their last six games across all competitions. A bet on over 2.5 goals was lost in only one of those games.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Shrewsbury vs Bolton prediction: 1-2
