Wolverhampton approach this FA Cup tie hoping to reset after a difficult run, taking just 0.40 points per game overall and winning only one of their last ten matches. However, 2-0 is our predicted outcome for Saturday's game as Wolves will not have have a better chance than this to get back on course. Even at Molineux, their 20% win rate and 0.80 goals scored per home game underline the lack of attacking efficiency, though the expected return of Joao Gomes and Hwang Hee-Chan should help sharpen their forward play. Defensively, Wolves have struggled, conceding 1.80 goals per match and keeping just 20% clean sheets at home, with their xGA at 1.48 reflecting ongoing vulnerabilities.
The Shrews, meanwhile, have issues of their own, losing four of their last five and suffering a heavy 3–0 defeat to Bristol Rovers. Forward Anthony Scully is unlikely to feature, weakening their attacking options. Still, Shrewsbury tend to stay competitive, scoring in 70% of their recent matches and posting a solid 1.36 xG overall. Their BTTS rate of 60% shows they usually create chances even when outmatched.
Wolves remain clear favourites, but given current form, Shrewsbury should not be underestimated in transitions and set-pieces. Anyhow, Home Win and Under 3.5 goals bets should be considered as Wolves keep more control at home. Additionally, Wolves to Win to Nil markets boasts big value.
This FA Cup match will be played on Saturday 10 January 2026 at 12:15.
