Shrewsbury Town form and stats

Shrewsbury Town have played 10 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Shrewsbury are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Doncaster Rovers. Defender Luke Leahy got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 8.44/10. Leahy hit two key passes and won 7 of 7 duels.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Wigan Athletic (1-2).

This is expected to be a close game, with Shrewsbury Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Shrewsbury Town as a small favourite), we find 17 games. Shrewsbury Town has won four of these, drawn seven and lost six.

The Shrewsbury Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. Shrewsbury have conceded 11 in these home matches.

Cheltenham Town form and stats

There's been little loot from Cheltenham Town's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 10 away games in the League One. Cheltenham Town only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 4 draws.

Cheltenham Town played 2-2 against Lincoln City in their previous match. Matty Blair got a match rating of 7.45 in that game, top player of the team. Blair scored one goal.

A 0-5 loss hosting Cambridge United before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Cheltenham in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Cheltenham Town, two draws and three defeats.

Cheltenham have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 13 goals have been scored. Cheltenham Town's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 19 goals from these trips.
