Prediction: 1-0
Shrewsbury
Wycombe and Shrewsbury square off against each other at Adams Park on day 21 of the new League One campaign. The Chairboys did well to eliminate Fulham U21 in the EFL Trophy last 32, but they are on a three-game losing run in the League One ahead of Saturday’s clash. Defender Harry Boyes is back from suspension, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
The Shrews, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Blackpool, beating Shrewsbury, while sharing the spoils with Exeter. Wycombe and Shrewsbury seem to be evenly matched at the moment, but home win should be considered as Matt Taylor’s troops have already suffered seven defeats on the road in the 2023/2024 League One campaign. In their last meeting in the English third tier the Shrews defeated the Chairboys, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Player (Sam Vokes):
Sam Vokes began his professional career at Bournemouth and after scoring 16 goals in 54 appearances for the Cherries, he moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2008. He signed a four-year deal contract with the Wolves, but was quickly sent on loan to Leeds United. After spending enjoying loan stints with Bristol City, Sheffield United, Norwich City, Burnley and Brighton, he signed a permanent contract with the Clarets for a fee of £350k.
Sam Vokes impressed in the 2013/2014 Championship campaign, with the Wales international scoring 20 goals in the process. He was struggling with injuries in the 2014/2015 Premier League campaign and, as a result, he failed to find the net for Burnley in 15 appearances in the English top flight. Vokes found his best form in the 2015/2016 season and thanks to his 15 goals the Clarets returned to the English elite division.
Sam Vokes was born and raised in England, but his grandfather was born in Wales and, as a result, he made his debut for the Dragons on 28 May, 2008 in a 1-0 win over Iceland. Vokes helped Wales reach the Euro 2016 semi-finals, scoring in the 3-1 quarter-final win over Belgium.
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.
