A draw, which has occurred in two of the last six meetings between these sides, is also 11/5 (3.2).

Team News

Shrewsbury will be without inspirational captain Abu Ogogo and attacking left-back Junior Brown, meaning Omar Beckles’ will continue at full-back.

Jon Taylor recovered quickly from a dead leg to feature in the second leg of Rotherham’s 4-2 aggregate semi-final victory over Scunthorpe.

Fellow wide man Ryan Williams also picked up a knock in the tie but should start here to aid the South Yorkshire side’s crossing game.

Shrews to tame Millers?

League One play-off final graphic

Paul Hurst’s side have been victorious in 27 of their 48 League One games while Rotherham have lost 15 times - trends which indicate a 44 per cent chance of a repeat and 13 per cent higher than the odds imply.

The Shropshire outfit can be backed to win at 23/20 (2.15) with the draw no bet option, which will refund the stake should this match go into extra-time.

Preview and predictions

Shrewsbury tend to show more ambition after the break, having scored more second half goals than their opponents in three of their last five games.

They are a tempting 5/2 (3.50) to do so again, which we make our best bet.
