Shrewsbury Town
DLLLDL ⚠
Shrewsbury Town will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 0-1 League One defeat in their last game at the hands of Cambridge United.
Dominic Ballard (76') scored for Cambridge United.
Shrewsbury Town haven’t made the most of their chances of late. Their goals record equals just 2 versus opposing sides during their previous six matches. In those games, Shrewsbury Town have also seen the number of goals scored against them come to 11. That kind of trend won’t necessarily follow through here, of course.
Going into this game, the form guide shows that Shrewsbury Town:
- have not been beaten in the league by Reading in their last 3 matches.
- are without a home win in the past 5 matches in the league. Their fans aren't happy.
Reading

A lot of goals were also scored during this period, 24 in total at an average of 4 goals per match.
The last league game between these clubs was League One match day 16 on 11/02/2025 when it ended Reading 1-1 Shrewsbury Town.
The referee was Abigail Byrne.
⚡ Prediction
We feel that Reading and Shrewsbury Town could both well score here although it’s hard to see a clear-cut winner.
Let’s see how it plays out, but a draw is looking likely to us. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a tight encounter, finishing with a 1-1 draw at the conclusion of the game.
