Shrewsbury Town form and stats

Playing away, Shrewsbury Town have won 6 games, drawn 5 and suffered 9 defeats in the League One this season. Recent form does not give Shrewsbury Town much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Barnsley will be a tough nut to crack.

Home advantage was not enough for Shrewsbury Town in their previous game as they lost hosting Peterborough United, 0-3.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Shrewsbury as they have only managed to score 19 times from 20 away games in the league.

As opposed to that, Shrewsbury Town have seen the ball go into their own net 25 times on the road.
