Prediction: 2-1
Shrewsbury
After suffering a 1-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough, Peterborough will look to get back on course when they take on Shrewsbury in a postponed fixture. The Posh are eager to rejoin the playoffs race, and they are likely to go all guns blazing on the fellow promotion-chasing side. Midfielder Joe Ward is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while Josh Knight serves the second of his three-game ban. Dan Butler should play some part against Shrewsbury after missing the last two games.
Meanwhile, the Shrews head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Derby County. Steve Cotterill’s troops are on a three-game winless run on the road, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Peterborough’s party at Weston Homes Stadium. Daniel Udoh and George Nurse should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Jonson Clarke Harris):
The Leicester born striker started his career at Coventry City, joining their youth academy at the age of 15. Harris, who holds both the English and Jamaican citizenship, chose to represent the former but is yet to feature for any of England's international levels. He made his first professional debut on the 10th of August 2010, in a 2-0 League Cup loss to Morecambe, a feature that made him the youngest player to ever appear for Coventry.
After successive loan moves where he made little impact, Harris left the Sky Blues to join Oldham Athletic in May 2013 on a year-long contract. His excellence earned him the Young Player of the Season award and a high profile move to Rotherham United at the end of the season in a deal worth 350,000 euros. After several inconsistent performances, Harris left the Millers.
He then went on to play for MK Dons and Doncaster on loan before re-joining Coventry for a second spell where-in he helped the club in promoting to League One. Born on the 21st of July 1994, the 25-year-old is known for his physicality and hold-up play and currently plies his trade for Bristol, whom he joined at the start of 2019.
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.
