Shrewsbury vs Bolton Prediction & Betting Tips (27 August)

Home matches has not exactly been a fortress for Shrewsbury in recent times, with Shrewsbury suffering four defeats in their previous five top-flight home matches. As if that wasn’t a worrying enough statistic on its own, it should also be pointed out that title-chasing Bolton are currently on an severyal winnings against their rivals in the EFL Cup.

Under 3.5 goals has been the order of the day in 18 consecutive Shrewsbury home games at the top table of the EFL Cup, with a home win success contributing to this sequence. For their part, Bolton have played 26 times at this level since they last featured in a contest containing six goals or more, so the net should bulge no more than five times here.

Over the course of their most recent 14 matches at the top table of Spanish football, Shrewsbury have been involved in just three encounters in which the net has bulged at both ends. Such an occurrence has been similarly rare in top-flight fixtures involving Bolton, happening only once in seven attempts, so at least one of the two keepers should emerge with a clean sheet.
