Shrewsbury Town

LWLLDL

Shrewsbury Town won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 2-0 League Two loss in their previous game against Colchester United.

Will Goodwin (4') and Arthur Read (37') scored for Colchester United.

Shrewsbury Town have struggled with their forward play of late. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 3 versus opposition teams during the course of their previous 6 fixtures. In those meetings, Shrewsbury Town have also seen the tally of goals scored against them come to 15. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, however.

Ahead of this clash, Shrewsbury Town are unbeaten in their previous 2 home league matches.

Barrow

WLLLLL 🔻

Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Notts County in League Two competition, Barrow and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

For Barrow, the scorers were Scott Smith (16' Own goal) and Charlie McCann (30'). Matthew Dennis (58') was the scorer for Notts County.

Looking at their form, and Barrow have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 12 goals overall. At the back, Barrow have been far from perfect.

Ahead of this meeting, Barrow haven’t won away from home in the past 3 league matches.

ℹ️ Team News: Shrewsbury Town

It seems likely that The Shrews should employ a 4-4-2 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Matthew Cox, Luca Hoole, William Boyle, Josh Ruffels, Ismeal Kabia, Tom Sang, Taylor Perry, Kevin Berkoe, Anthony Scully, John Marquis and Iwan Morgan.

🗞️ Team News: Barrow

We’re of the thinking that The Bluebirds seem most likely to utilise a 4-4-1-1 system, starting the game with Wyll Stanway, Jack Thompson, Charlie Raglan, Niall Canavan, Joseph Anderson, Elliot Newby, Jack Earing, Charlie McCann, Brandon Powell, Jovan Malcolm and Danny Rose.

💭 Prediction

Our feeling is that Barrow will likely create enough chances to score against this Shrewsbury Town lineup, however it is unlikely to be as many as they’ll concede.

We can see a very close game with a 2-1 victory for Shrewsbury Town at the end of this one. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
