Shrewsbury Town form and stats

With 0 League One wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Shrewsbury Town are certainly not brimming with confidence. Shrewsbury are slowly digging their own grave here at Montgomery Waters Meadow with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Northampton Town match.

The spoils were shared in Shrewsbury's previous game, also at home. Visiting Accrington Stanley (placed 9th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Shrewsbury won a home game hosting Oxford City (after extra-time) (1-0).

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Shrewsbury, as the EFL Trophy home game vs Lincoln City is only three days away.

Shrewsbury are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games. Shrewsbury have conceded 12 from these games.

Charlton Athletic form and stats

Charlton Athletic, who have the most clean sheets (5) away in League One, have an excellent away record in the League One so far with 5-1-2 from 8 games.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League One home defeat versus Milton Keynes Dons with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Ipswich Town.

Charlton goalkeeper Ben Amos had a great day against Milton Keynes Dons, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided.

Charlton are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 12 times in 8 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Charlton as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last nine matches): Shrewsbury five wins, zero draws and Charlton Athletic four victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
