There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Peterborough United leading Shrewsbury Town by 13 points.
It's no vacation for neither Peterborough nor Shrewsbury Town as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Peterborough United form and stats
Peterborough United have collected 10 points from their League One home games so far after 3-1-0.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Peterborough United, who played 2-2 against Burton Albion. That match was also played at this venue (London Road Stadium). A strong away win before that one, visiting Hull City and winning 2-1.
Jonson Clarke-Harris felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Burton Albion as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 48th minute.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Peterborough's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won two matches, drawn zero and lost one.
The manager D. Ferguson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bristol Rovers in only three days.
Goals decide football matches and Peterborough are scoring many of them at home; 9 on target from 4 league matches. Peterborough's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Shrewsbury Town form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest scored goals (5) in League One, on their League One travels is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat. Three has not been a lucky number for Shrewsbury as they have been defeated three times in a row since the AFC Wimbledon match.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Shrewsbury, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Fleetwood Town (placed 10th). A 1-2 loss hosting Rochdale before that.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Shrewsbury playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, two draws and zero home wins.
A new game in only three days for Shrewsbury Town, the League One home match versus Burton Albion. Busy days.
Shrewsbury are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 4 away games. Shrewsbury are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 2 away goals have been conceded so far.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Peterborough, three draws and three wins for Shrewsbury Town. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
