Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Accrington play host to Shrewsbury at the Wham Stadium on day 33 of the 2022/2023 League One campaign. The Accy Stanley are fighting hard to secure the survival, but they are on a five-match winless run ahead of the visit of Shrewsbury. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but talented midfielder Tommy Leigh could sneak into the starting XI this time out.
Meanwhile, the Shrews have been producing scintillating displays in 2023, with the team winning four of their last five league fixtures, but they have yet to climb to the playoffs berth. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Shrewsbury have been in a much better form of late than Accrington. Barring any fresh injury concerns, Steve Cotterill is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with Exeter in midweek.
Highlighted Team (Shrewsbury):
Based in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, Shrewsbury Town are a professional club that play home games at New Meadow stadium, the venue which was opened in 2007 and has the capacity of 10,361. Shrewsbury Town were founded back in 1886, with some reports indicating the club was established at the Lion Hotel.
The Blues wear blue shirts with yellow stripe and blue shorts when playing at home, whilst the colour of their away kit is purple. Mickey Brown holds the club record for most appearances as he played 190 games for the club, scoring 9 goals in the league. Both Wolverhampton and Walsall are regarded as the club’s fiercest rivals, but there have always been fireworks in matches between Shrewsbury Town and Hereford United as well.
The two teams face each other in the “A49 derby” and it has to be noted that the Blues have built rivalries with Chester City and Wrexham as well.
