Shrewsbury Town form and stats

Two League One home games so far for Shrewsbury Town, who are yet to win here at Montgomery Waters Meadow. Only 0 points so far. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Shrewsbury with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Burton Albion game, 21 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

D. Udoh was the last player to score a league goal for Shrewsbury Town and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Shrewsbury haven't scored in 408 minutes.

The Shrewsbury fans got no joy from their last match, a Carabao Cup game also here at Montgomery Waters Meadow: A 0-2 defeat against Rochdale. Josh Vela (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.12/10. Vela had 35 successful passes (of 37 total).

Ahead of that match, Shrewsbury lost 0-3 at home to Plymouth Argyle.

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 15 games. Shrewsbury Town has won one of these, drawn eight and lost six.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Shrewsbury as they have a new game in only three days, a EFL Trophy match thankfully also at home. Crewe Alexandra are visiting.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Shrewsbury Town at home in the league. 0 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
