📊 Form Guide

Shrewsbury Town

DWLLLW

Shrewsbury Town will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 3-2 League One victory over Reading.

For Shrewsbury Town, the goals were scored by Tom Bayliss (33'), Chey Dunkley (92') and Jason Sraha (96'). Sam Smith (12') and Dominic Ballard (15') scored for Reading.

It’s been all too rare in recent times that Shrewsbury Town have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Shrewsbury Town have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 10 goals during that time.

Walsall

DWDDLL

Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Harrogate Town in League Two competition, Walsall and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

George Thomson (84') was the scorer for Harrogate Town.

Walsall have been effective going forward leading up to this encounter, having scored 10 times in their previous 6 matches. Having said that, Walsall have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same clashes. We will just have to see if that trend can be sustained here.
