Shrewsbury Town vs Wrexham top free betting tips
Our Shrewsbury Town vs Wrexham prediction is for this to be a very competitive, closely fought match with nothing to separate either side. We can however see Hollywood-owned Wrexham taking the victory and therefore progressing through to the fourth round.
Shrewsbury have won just one of their previous five matches, a 3-1 win against relegation-threatened Fleetwood Town but had lost all of their four matches before that victory. Wrexham on the other hand have won four of their previous five matches, including an excellent 4-1 victory over promotion rivals Barrow.
Correct outcome prediction: Wrexham to Win
Despite being one league below Shrewsbury, Wrexham will come into this match confident that they can earn the win to progress through to the next round. Wrexham managed to make it through to the fourth round last season where they almost caused a major upset as they played Sheffield United but ultimately lost 3-1 in a replay after a 3-3 draw initially.
Both teams to score prediction: Yes
Wrexham have scored five goals and conceded four goals in their previous two matches, showing exactly why they are one of the most entertaining sides in English football at the moment with their incredible attacking style that leaves them open to conceding, due to the high line they play.
Correct score prediction: 2-1 to Wrexham
We predict a 2-1 victory for Wrexham. The Welsh side is an excellent team and having just joined the football league, it is looking likely that they will be earning promotion to League One at the first attempt. Wrexham are playing away from home which will not deter them in their chase for an incredible FA Cup run, something their Hollywood owners are desperate for.
