Recent respective form guides
Shrewsbury Town's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Shrews have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Shrewsbury Town find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 49 points from their 44 matches.
