Prediction: 0-2
Sunderland
Tuesday’s football game at Greenhous Meadow pits together Shrewsbury Town and Sunderland, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Shrews are eager to escape the relegation zone, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail in the midweek clash. The bad news for the hosts, though, is that Jamaica international Elliott Bennett is sidelined through suspension. The Black Cats, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Ipswich Town.
Sunderland did well to put an end to their three-game losing run, and given Shrewsbury’s display in a 2-1 loss to Cheltenham, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on the promotion-chasing visitors. Experienced forward Aiden McGeady should be recalled to the starting XI after finding the net in the victory over the Tractor Boys.
Highlighted Player (Aaron Pierre):
Born on February 17, 1993 in Southall, England Aaron Pierre is a professional footballer who plays for Shrewsbury Town in the League One as a defender. Pierre started his youth career at Fulham at the age of 15 and in 2011 he moved to Brentford youth school.
Speaking of his senior career, the 185-cm-tall defender played for the likes of Brentford, Cambridge United, Wycombe Wanderers and Northampton Town before signing a deal with Shrewsbury Town in the summer of 2019. Aaron Pierre signed for the League One side for an undisclosed fee, penning a three-year deal. Despite being born in England, the Shrewsbury Town footballer represents Granada on the international stage.
He received his first call-up for the Grenada national team in September, 2015, but he has yet to find the net with the Spice Boys. The Grenada international’s main position is centre-back, whereas his preferred foot is left.
Highlighted Team (Sunderland):
Sunderland are a professional football club that have been playing their home games at the Stadium of Light since 1997. The capacity of the stadium is 49,000, but before expansion the original ground capacity was 42,000. Red and White shirts are Sunderland’s trademark and the club’s fiercest rivals are Newcastle United. The two local rivals have been contesting in the Tyne-Wear derby since 1898 and there have always been fireworks in what is one of the greatest derbies in English football. Sunderland were on the verge of dropping to the Championship in the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign, but experienced tactician Sam Allardyce eventually helped the team avoid relegation.
The Black Cats have won six First Division trophies (now the Premier League), with the team lifting two FA Cup titles. Sunderland won their first FA Cup trophy in 1937, with the team beating Preston North End 3-1 in the title game. The club was founded in 1879 as Sunderland and District Teachers A.F.C.
