Burnley to Win
While the guests are far from being in great form since they have six points from five matches in Championship, the home team is not doing much better with five points from five rounds in League One.
And given the simple fact that Burnley is playing in a league above Shrewsbury, we can see why they are the favourites in this match and we expect them to win the game.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
These two teams did not meet recently, so we can't use h2h data to help us decide on the next bet. Despite this, we feel that this game can go under 2.5 total goals.
The reason for this lies in the fact that Shrewsbury averaged just 1.40 goals per game in League One this season, while Burnley averaged 2.40 goals per game in Championship so far.

Meanwhile, Ashley Westwood is injured right now and out of the next game, while Scott Twine, Kevin Long, and Johann Berg Gudmundsson are questionable. Also, Ian Maatsen is suspended.
