The visiting Peterborough United side should be favourites in this visit to Shrewsbury Town, as the away team holds a 19 point advantage from their 23 league games this season.
- Shrewsbury Town has the fewest matches over the total-line (7) in League One
- Peterborough United has the most points from losing position (12) in League One
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the League One.
Shrewsbury Town form and stats
With 1 League One win, 5 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Shrewsbury Town are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Shrewsbury are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Sunderland. Prior to that, an away loss at Southampton in the FA Cup.
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. Crewe Alexandra are visiting.
The Shrewsbury fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 9 matches. Shrewsbury Town have conceded 13 in these home matches.
Peterborough United form and stats
5-2-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Peterborough United in their League One matches away.

Peterborough's last game was the home draw against Bristol Rovers (0-0). Prior to that result Peterborough United won their away game at Ipswich Town. The scoreline was 1-0.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Peterborough manager D. Ferguson as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Tranmere Rovers.
The attacking power of Peterborough United when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 12 league matches away. Peterborough have conceded 12 goals in these away matches.
