This could be an interesting match as Shrewsbury Town have their presumed home advantage while Peterborough United are ahead 7 points in the League One table.
It's no vacation for neither Shrewsbury Town nor Peterborough United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Shrewsbury Town form and stats
When playing at home in the League One, Shrewsbury Town have managed 3 wins, 3 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 7 games.
The fans are hoping that Shrewsbury Town will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the League One game against Wycombe Wanderers (placed 1st). Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Sunderland.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the FA Cup game versus Bradford City in only four days. This game is also played here at Montgomery Waters Meadow.
The Shrewsbury Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 7 matches. 7 goals have been conceded.
Peterborough United form and stats
As the visiting team in League One matches, Peterborough United, who have the most scored goals (39) in League One, have produced an overall stat of 3-2-3 so far.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Peterborough United, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 3-4 versus Blackpool (placed 8th). Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Coventry City.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Peterborough United, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Peterborough United manager D. Ferguson as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Stevenage.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Peterborough United are regular goalscorers on their travels. In the opposite end, Peterborough United have conceded 13 goals in their away games.
