Prediction: 0-1
Wigan
Rock-bottom Shrewsbury Town will look to put an end to their 13-game winless run when they welcome Wigan Athletic to their Croud Meadow on Friday afternoon. The Shrews failed to secure the League One survival, meaning that they have nothing to play for in the remainder of the season. Talented midfielder Leo Castledine remains in the treatment room, while Vadaine Oliver is a major doubt.
The Latics, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three games in the English third tier. As Wigan need this win to escape the relegation zone, we predict that they are going to beat already-relegated hosts at The Croud Meadow. Speaking of the away team, all Adams, Francois, Goodwin, Payne, and Smith should miss out with injuries. Earlier this season, the two teams played out a 2-2 draw at the Brick Community Stadium.
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.
