Best Bet

This Saturday, Wrexham will aim to secure their third consecutive victory in League One as they host Shrewsbury Town. The Red Dragons have made an impressive return to the third tier of English football, sitting second in the table with 10 points from four games. Shrewsbury, on the other hand, will be hoping to build on their first win of the season, a 3-0 triumph over Leyton Orient, as they search for back-to-back victories.

Looking at the data and current form, Wrexham winning by at least two goals appears to be a strong possibility. Their excellent start to the season, particularly at home, sets them up as clear favourites for this clash. Wrexham have been dominant at the Racecourse Ground, winning both of their home league matches this season with a combined score of 5-0. In both games, they were already 2-0 up by half-time, underlining their ability to take control of matches early on.

The Red Dragons’ defence has also been solid, with three clean sheets in their first four league matches. Conceding just 0.5 goals per game, they boast one of the tightest defences in the league, which will make it difficult for Shrewsbury to find any joy in attack. Shrewsbury’s form on the road has been far from convincing, with the team losing three of their four league matches so far this season. Their defence has been vulnerable, conceding 1.5 goals per game and struggling to maintain clean sheets.

Wrexham’s attacking line, led by Jack Marriott, who has already netted two goals, combined with the presence of Ollie Palmer and Elliot Lee in midfield, provides them with multiple threats in the final third. Marriott’s ability to stretch defences and Palmer’s physicality will likely cause problems for Shrewsbury’s backline, who have conceded six goals in four games.

As BettingTips4You.com expert John Pentin notes, “Wrexham’s home form has been nothing short of exceptional, with a perfect blend of attacking potency and defensive solidity. Backing them to win by at least two goals, given Shrewsbury’s away struggles, is a sound strategy.”

Wrexham’s stats further reinforce their superiority in this fixture. The Red Dragons have averaged two goals per game, with a total of eight goals scored this season, compared to Shrewsbury’s four. Their ability to create big chances – 2.3 per game – combined with a high shot accuracy (4.5 shots on target per game) suggests they will be able to break down Shrewsbury’s defence with ease.

Correct Score Prediction: Wrexham 3-0 Shrewsbury Town

Given Wrexham’s dominance at home and Shrewsbury’s defensive frailties, a 3-0 scoreline in favour of the hosts seems a logical outcome. Wrexham have shown they are capable of keeping clean sheets, with three already this season, and their ability to control games early makes a comfortable win highly likely. Shrewsbury have struggled to generate consistent attacking momentum, with just one shot on target per game so far, which will make it difficult for them to breach Wrexham’s well-organised defence.

Wrexham’s ability to press high and exploit defensive gaps has been evident throughout their campaign, and against a Shrewsbury side that has shown little in the way of resistance on the road, a clean sheet paired with multiple goals for the home side is a strong prediction.
