Wigan Athletic vs Shrewsbury Prediction
Why we picked this for Wigan Athletic vs Shrewsbury
Over 2.5 goals is our call for Wigan Athletic against Shrewsbury (EFL Trophy), rated at 68% confidence. Matches involving Wigan Athletic produced 2.4 goals per game over their last 5, and 2 of those went over 2.5. For Shrewsbury it is 3.2 goals per game, with 2 of 5 over 2.5. Recent form is split here (4 of 10 games went over 2.5), so it doesn't settle the call on its own.
Past meetings don't back this call, with just 1 of the last 4 head-to-heads ending over 2.5. Recent form weighs more heavily than older fixtures, which is why the pick stands. The 68% confidence reflects a real but modest lean in the recent numbers. The match ended 2-0, so Over 2.5 didn't come in.
