Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects a tight, low-scoring game.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Both teams to score – No | 20/23 (Betfair Sportsbook) | Exeter have been abysmal in attack away from home, scoring just once in four road trips and losing every one of them. They have found the net only five times all season, the fewest in the division, so goals at both ends look unlikely here. Shrewsbury are no free-scoring side themselves but have enough to edge a cagey contest at Croud Meadow. With the visitors so blunt on their travels, both teams to score looks improbable, and the 20/23 about the No is the sensible play. |
| Shrewsbury Town to win to nil | 14/5 (10bet) | Exeter’s away record tells the story: four games, four defeats, one goal scored. Shrewsbury have kept two clean sheets and should fancy their chances of shutting out such a toothless travelling side at Croud Meadow. The hosts do not need to be at their best to grind out a narrow win here, and a clean sheet is a realistic outcome against the division’s weakest road attack. At 14/5, Shrewsbury to win to nil offers genuine value against a side yet to win away. |
