The key duel: Salford City's attack against Shrewsbury's back line.
Salford City take on Shrewsbury in the EFL Cup. Let's break down what our data says about this one.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. Salford City will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while Shrewsbury travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. Salford City average 1.1 goals per game and Shrewsbury manage 0.8. Combined that's just 1.9. We make it only 51% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 47%.
Shrewsbury prefer to keep things tight (0.8 conceded per game) and nick a goal on the break. Patience will be key for Salford City against this setup.
