There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Hull City leading Shrewsbury Town by 23 points.
- Hull City has the the best goal difference (+15) in League One
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Hull City form and stats
Hull City, who have the the best goal difference (+15) in League One, have been very solid at home in the League One so far, with 15 points collected from 6 matches (5-0-1). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at KCOM Stadium.
The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Crewe Alexandra (after extra-time, 3-2 on penalties) in the EFL Trophy last time out and are looking for a win here. Before that, Hull played out a League One draw 1-1 when visiting Oxford United.
The manager G. McCann will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Blackpool in only three days.
The Hull fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches. Defensively Hull City have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (3 in 6 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Shrewsbury Town form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Shrewsbury Town so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-3 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Shrewsbury, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The AFC Wimbledon game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a EFL Trophy home defeat versus Lincoln City with 1-4 on the scoreboard. A draw for Shrewsbury Town before that, at their own venue hosting Charlton Athletic (1-1).
Shrewsbury Town has another fixture away, a League One game, against Lincoln City in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Shrewsbury as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Shrewsbury have conceded 11 goals in their away games.
