Shrewsbury vs Northampton Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 0.75 expected goals for Shrewsbury and 1.15 for Northampton, a combined total of 1.90.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Northampton win, at 45.2%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 36% and over 2.5 goals at 30%.
A 45% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
