Struggling Shrewsbury Town will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Oxford United in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 7th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Insights:
  • Shrewsbury Town have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a League One match only four days ago. This match was also played here at Montgomery Waters Meadow. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Oxford United have had more rest.

Shrewsbury can neither be promoted or relegated from League One. Oxford are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Shrewsbury Town form and stats

5 victories, 7 draws and 9 defeats. That’s what Shrewsbury Town have to build on here at Montgomery Waters Meadow in the League One. Game days at Montgomery Waters Meadow have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Shrewsbury as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Shrewsbury's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Lincoln City (placed 3rd). In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Blackpool.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Shrewsbury Town as they have a new game in only three days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Ipswich Town are visiting.

The Shrewsbury fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 26 in 21 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Shrewsbury have conceded 28 in these home matches.
