Wigan can rule the roost when they tackle Shrewsbury on Saturday, having started the season undefeated after four matches

Our ratings make them the best side in the division based on the early form, and they only sit fourth courtesy of playing one game fewer than the sides above them. Of those sides above them, Shrewsbury are of course one, and they are also unbeaten, with four wins and a draw under their belts.
They've probably been a touch fortunate to take that many points, having won a couple of matches which could have gone either way - something that is bourne out in the shot data. The Shrews have managed a 59-50 advantage versus their opponents in shots taken, while Wigan have been a far more dominant 56-20. Wigan have also limted their opponents to just 8 shots on target over their four matches, while the Shrews have been roughly half as efficient, conceeding 21 on target attempts in five matches.
It all points to a Wigan away win in this one, which looks fairly priced at 23/20 with BetWay
1pt Wigan to beat Shrewsbury at 23/20
We tipped goals at Walsall last week, and won't change tact this week when they go to Bristol Rovers.
The Pirates are an entertaining side to watch, and you are almost certain of action at both ends of the pitch. Six of their eight matches this campaign have gone over 2.5 goals, with a 5-1 at Wycombe, and three other games producing five goals apiece.
Similar has been true at Walsall, and their last five matches have seen both teams score. Over 2.5 Goals looks well over the top at 10/11 with Sporting Odds. If the price goes, the 5/6 around elsewhere is perfectly acceptable.
3pts Over 2.5 goals at Bristol Rovers v Walsall at 10/11
