Gillingham to win
Gillingham hold a one-place advantage over Shrewsbury in 17th position and have scored 49 goals this season compared to their opponents' 40, demonstrating superior attacking capability.

Over 2.5 Goals
Both Gillingham and Shrewsbury have conceded over 60 goals this season, with Gillingham averaging close to 1.5 goals conceded per match and Shrewsbury slightly higher, creating an environment where attacking opportunities will be plentiful.

FAQ
What is included in this Gillingham vs Shrewsbury Town Bet Builder?
This Bet Builder combines three separate selections into one wager for the Gillingham vs Shrewsbury Town match. The three legs are: Gillingham to win the match, Over 2.5 Goals in the game, and Both Teams to Score - Yes. All three legs must come in for the bet to win. The combined odds for this Bet Builder are 8.17, which reflects the probability of all three outcomes landing together in the same fixture.
How does each leg of the Bet Builder get settled?
Each leg is settled independently based on the final result of the match. The Match Result leg (Gillingham to win) is settled on the full-time score, including any stoppage time but not extra time or penalties. The Over 2.5 Goals leg requires at least three goals to be scored across the entire 90 minutes, again excluding extra time. The Both Teams to Score leg requires Gillingham and Shrewsbury Town each to score at least one goal during normal time. If any one of the three legs fails to land, the entire Bet Builder is settled as a loss, regardless of how the other legs perform.
