Shrewsbury Town and Blackpool have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the League One.
- Shrewsbury Town has the fewest points (5) at home in League One
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the League One. That game was an away game at Wigan Athletic, so at least Shrewsbury are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Shrewsbury Town form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the League One this season. Shrewsbury Town, who have the fewest points (5) at home in League One, have only managed 0 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses from their games here at Montgomery Waters Meadow. With eight home League One games in a row without a win, the Shrewsbury fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Northampton Town game long ago, can be stopped today.
The Shrewsbury goalkeeper Matija Sarkic is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 289 minutes without conceding a goal in the League One.
Shrewsbury travelled for their previous game, a trip to Wigan Athletic that ended 1-1. A strong away win before that one, visiting Doncaster Rovers and winning 1-0.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Shrewsbury as they have a new game in only four days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Crewe Alexandra are visiting.
Shrewsbury has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Shrewsbury have conceded 13 from these games.
Blackpool form and stats
3 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Blackpool playing as the away team in the League One this season.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Accrington Stanley (placed 8th) in their previous outing. The League One match ended in a draw 0-0. That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus Hull City.
The visitors have scored 8 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 10 goals have been conceded by Blackpool in these games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last nine meetings: five - four - zero (Shrewsbury wins - draws - Blackpool wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), eight had two or less.Top Goalscorers
