Three of the five previous meetings between these sides at Molineux have had no winner, while their previous encounter in the 1978/79 FA Cup also went to a replay with Wolves eventually progressing.
Despite that, Nuno Santo’s side are huge favourites ahead of this game. This is not only because of their Premier League status but also because of their recent form.
Wolves have won three straight league games, scoring an impressive total of ten goals in the process. Shrewsbury, on the other hand, have been struggling with the team winless in four games. What’s more, Sam Rickett’s side have lost back to back games to Luton Town and Bradford City.
Interestingly, Shrewsbury have lost on all five occasions that they have taken a top flight side to a replay in the FA Cup. The most recent example is their defeat to West Ham last season.
In terms of the betting, there are markets that offer a good price for instance, Wolves to win by a margin of two goals at 3/1 or even three or more goals at 6/4.
However, with both teams scoring and conceding a high number of goals, the recommended bet in this game is on both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals.
Recommendation
Over 2.5 goals & both teams to score @ 15/8 bet365
