Match preview

Our model makes Grimsby clear favourites, giving them a 64% chance of winning against 20% for the draw.

Our fair price for "Home win" is 1.57 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 3.2 goals in total (2.16 for Grimsby, 1.00 for Shrewsbury), which points to Over 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Grimsby sit 6th on 20 points; Shrewsbury are 15th on 18.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
