The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Shrewsbury Town are in the 13th position while the guests worry at 17th.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Shrewsbury Town and Gillingham.

Shrewsbury Town form and stats

Overall League One stats at home this season for Shrewsbury Town are 2-2-1 (wins-draw-losses).

Shrewsbury Town drew their last game, 0-0 away at Lincoln City (placed 12th). Previous to that game, a EFL Trophy home match hosting Newcastle United U21 in a game that was won 3-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Shrewsbury Town have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won 5 times, drawn 5 and lost 1.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League One game versus Sunderland in only four days. This game is also played here at Montgomery Waters Meadow.

Shrewsbury Town are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 attempts. Shrewsbury Town have conceded 6 in these home matches.

Gillingham form and stats

Gillingham have only collected 4 points from their away games in the League One, after 0-4-2 (6 played).

The manager S. Evans was unhappy after their last game, a League One match played at their home ground Montgomery Waters Meadow. Gillingham suffered a 1-2 loss to Peterborough United (placed 3rd). A 0-0 draw at Portsmouth's stadium before that.

We have checked recent matches where Gillingham have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were W3-D5-L5.

Gillingham has another fixture away, a League One game, against Accrington Stanley in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

The visitors have scored 4 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Gillingham have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
