Shrewsbury Town form and stats

The story so far in the League One for Shrewsbury Town at their home stadium (Montgomery Waters Meadow) is 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats.

Shrewsbury Town manager S. Cotterill and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Charlton Athletic (placed 8th) in the League One. A strong away win before that one, visiting Rochdale and winning 2-0.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Shrewsbury Town as they are travelling to their away game against Burton Albion in the League One. That match is three days after this one.

Hull City form and stats

10 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Hull City, who have the most scored goals (61) in League One, playing as the away team in the League One this season. Impressively, the visitors are on a five-match winning run which they hope continue versus Shrewsbury Town. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Hull, as they have won on their previous two travels.

Hull won their last game, 2-0 versus Oxford United played at home. Preceding that game was the away victory against Peterborough United with the score of 3-1.

Hull goalie Matt Ingram was high and low in the Oxford United game, contributing six saves towards the victory.

Hull have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 40 goals from 18 away matches. Hull City have conceded 20 goals in these away matches.
