Shrewsbury Town

LDLLLL 📉

Shrewsbury Town will be hoping to bounce back here following the 0-2 EFL Cup losing effort in their last game against Bolton Wanderers.

In that match, Shrewsbury Town managed 38% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 1 on target. At the other end, Bolton Wanderers got 21 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. Jordi Osei-Tutu (52') and Dion Charles (65') scored for Bolton Wanderers.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games where Shrewsbury Town have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Shrewsbury Town have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, letting in 12 goals in the process.

Their previous form shows that Shrewsbury Town:

• haven't beaten Leyton Orient in their previous 7 league matches.
• have not won at home in their last 4 league games. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.

Leyton Orient

WLWLLW

Leyton Orient go into this game following a 0-1 EFL Cup win versus Millwall in their most recent outing.

In that match, Leyton Orient had 46% possession and 6 attempts at goal with 1 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Leyton Orient was Daniel Agyei (14'). Millwall got 5 shots on goal with 0 of them on target.

The stats don’t lie, and Leyton Orient have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 8 goals in total. At the back, Leyton Orient have not been doing too well. We will just have to see if that trend will end up being sustained in this game.

Ahead of this meeting, Leyton Orient remain unbeaten by Shrewsbury Town in away games against them for the last 4 league games. A solid away record against them.

👥 Head to head

Looking at their past head to head meetings stretching back to 10/11/2012 tells us that these fixtures have not been fruitful for Shrewsbury Town. They’ve not managed to get themselves any wins at all whereas Leyton Orient have simply been better than them, finishing as winners in 100% of those games where they have faced each other.

A total of 15 goals were shared by the two clubs in this period, with 2 of them from The Shrews and 13 belonging to The O's. That’s an average goals per game of 2.5.

The last league contest between these sides was League One match day 46 on 27/04/2024 when the final score was Shrewsbury Town 1-3 Leyton Orient.

The match was refereed by Adam Herczeg.

💡 Prediction

Our feeling is that Shrewsbury Town will do well to break down this Leyton Orient outfit who we think will end up scoring and staying ahead.

We’re therefore anticipating a highly competitive game with a 0-1 advantage for Leyton Orient at the end of this game.

Hoping for a good game.
