Prediction: 2-1
Shrewsbury Town
Struggling Stoke City will be looking to give fans some cheer when they host Shrewsbury Town at their bet365 Stadium. The Potters are on a five-game winless run in all competitions, but Tuesday’s football game against Shrewsbury Town could be the turning point for them. It is well known that Stoke City have turned their stadium into a real fortress and we believe that the time has come for the Championship side to return to winning ways. The Blues, on the other hand, are not enjoying a successful season, with the team sitting in the danger zone in the League One standings ahead of the trip to Staffordshire. The League One side did well to hold Stoke City to a draw in front of home fans, but we do not believe that they are capable of matching the Potters at bet365 Stadium in the FA Cup replay.
Highlighted Player (Joe Allen):
Joe Allen is another high-quality footballer from the new generation of Wales internationals, who was part of the team that took Swansea from League One to the Premier League, and he had no problems adapting to arguably the strongest league championship in Europe.
Allen operated as a deep-lying playmaker as the Swans impressed upon reaching the elite division, with his excellent passing skills persuading Liverpool to splash £15 million on his services. The central midfielder didn’t exactly manage to develop into an indispensable member of the side at Anfield, but he is considered an important squad player and has always performed well when called upon.
Meanwhile, he has been one of the pillars of the most successful team in the Wales history together with Gareth Bale, Ashley Williams and Aaron Ramsey, while even representing Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Allen started five games for the Dragons as they secured the first ever appearance at the European Championship finals.
