Both sides ply their trade in League Two, yet their early-season trajectories could hardly differ more. The Cod Army remain unbeaten across all competitions, while the Shrews arrive nursing back-to-back league defeats. A spot in the last 32 would represent rare cup pedigree for Fleetwood, who have reached this stage only twice before. For Shrewsbury, a result here could steady a ship already taking on water.

The Cod Army are unbeaten in three, conceding just once across that spell, while Shrewsbury have shipped five goals in two league outings. Gavin Cowan's side failed to score in their first-round cup match last season and look short of confidence. Under 2.5 goals at 1.80 pairs well with the home win, given Fleetwood's preference for tight, low-scoring victories. Both of their wins this term finished 1-0. Prediction: Fleetwood Town to win.
