Wolves vs Shrewsbury Town Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Shrewsbury Town will be looking to pull off an FA Cup giant-killing when they travel to Molineux to take on Wolves on Tuesday.

The Shrews came close to causing an upset in the original tie at New Meadow, letting slip a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw thanks to Matt Doherty's injury time equaliser for the Premier League side..

Latest odds

Having lost both of their League One matches since then, they are 16/1 (17.00) outsiders with William Hill to record a famous victory at the second attempt here.

In contrast, Nuno Espirito Santo’s team have won back-to-back Premier League matches since that draw in Shropshire, and are clear 2/11 (1.18) favourites to finish the job by coming out on top in this one.

The sides played out a 0-0 draw when they last met at this ground back in 2014, and you can get odds of 11/2 (6.50) on this one heading into extra-time after another deadlocked 90 minutes.

Team news

Ruben Neves will be hoping to recover from the slight injury that forced him off in Saturday’s victory at Everton, although he may not be risked.

Dave Edwards is not fit to face his former club, having returned to his boyhood team as one of 10 January signings.

In-form Wolves

Despite coming so close to upsetting the team where he won the League One title as captain during his playing days, it feels like Shrewsbury manager Sam Ricketts has already missed his chance.

Having conceded seven goals in the two subsequent matches against Bradford and Luton, it is hard to see his side keeping at bay an in-form Premier League attack.

Predictions

With 12 goals to their name in the last four matches and nine in the most recent three at home, even odds (2.00) appear generous on Wolves ensuring Shrewsbury concede at least three for their third game in a row.
