Shrewsbury Town form and stats
6 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Shrewsbury Town have to build on here at Montgomery Waters Meadow in the League One.
Happy days for Shrewsbury Town in their previous game, a fixture away at Milton Keynes Dons (placed 19th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Cotterill when Bayliss scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute. Defender Flanagan got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.62/10. Flanagan won 10 of 16 duels.
Before that game, the 5-1 home victory against Cambridge United.Shrewsbury Town are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 14 games. Shrewsbury Town have conceded 18 in these home matches.
Forest Green Rovers form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Forest Green Rovers so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 1-6-7 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Rovers, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Bolton Wanderers (placed 5th). Hendry got a match rating of 7.85 in that game, top player of the team. Hendry hit two key passes and had 72 successful passes (of 85 total).
A 1-2 loss hosting Milton Keynes Dons before that.The attacking power of Forest Green Rovers when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 14 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
