The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Shrewsbury Town form and stats
3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Shrewsbury Town playing as the away team in the League One this season. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Shrewsbury, as they have won on their previous two travels.

Shrewsbury Town are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, five draws and four defeats. From a total of eleven matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Shrewsbury manager S. Ricketts as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Wigan Athletic.
The visitors have scored 8 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 11 goals have been conceded by Shrewsbury Town in these games.
