League 2 televised games are always a little difficult to bet on cause they throw up a few surprises but here goes.....
Shrewsbury @2.5
1)They've a great home record 11-3-0, crawley away 5-6-3
2)Crawley have to travel 200 miles
3)Crawley are in patchy form
4)Crawley are playing their 2nd or 3rd choice goalkeeper
5)Crawley have sold their two best strikers (20-30 goals between them this year)
6)Shrewsbury have only conceded 7 goals at home
7)Shrewsbury are at near full strength
8)Shrews have beaten southend, swindon & swansea (carling cup) at the meadow this season already.
Shrewsbury to keep a clean sheet @3.25
Under 2.5 @ 1.72
I can't understand why these prices are set the way they are (esp. Shrews clean sheet) it might because comparitavly crawley are quite high profile (the man city/chelsea of league 2) and their recent cup run means they are in the punters subconcious more, or it could be something else..... I guess i'll find out tomorrow night.
I won't be smashing out a huge stake on this one, because nothing is ever too simple in this league. But i think any of the above 3 bets have a good chance, although the unders price is lacking in value, so i'd be less inclined to hit that.
