Shrewsbury Town form and stats

The story so far in the League One for Shrewsbury Town at their home stadium (Montgomery Waters Meadow) is 5 wins, 7 draws and 8 defeats. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Shrewsbury, their manager S. Cotterill and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Shrewsbury enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Blackpool's place. The match ended 1-0 with Matthew Pennington scoring. Preceding that match was a defeat to Wigan Athletic (1-2).

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

Lincoln City form and stats

The away team, who have the fewest conceded goals (14) away in League One, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 12 wins, 5 draws and only 3 losses in the League One. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Lincoln are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

Lincoln might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Hull City proved too strong as Lincoln City slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Sincil Bank Stadium. Preceding that game was the away victory against Burton Albion with the score of 1-0.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League One trip to Peterborough United.

Lincoln find the net regularly in their away games. 29 goals from 20 away fixtures in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
