AFC Wimbledon hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 2 points and a 21st position in the League One table. Visiting Shrewsbury Town holds 14th place with 8 pts.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Shrewsbury Town form and stats
