Punters backing Shrewsbury for Division Two Title

Paul Simpson's Shrewsbury Town are bet365's new favourites to lift the League Two title this season after heavy activity from punters.

bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth "Simpson has been busy in the transfer market and punters haven’t been slow in jumping on the Shrewsbury bandwagon."

"Sheer weight of money has seen their price drop from 28/1 into 8/1 over the last few weeks and, in Grant Holt and Richard Walker, they have the best strikeforce in the division."

"It's easy to read too much into friendlies, but having seen their last two outings, Simpson's new look side have every chance of being in the shake up."
