Gillingham
Saturday’s football match at Greenhous Meadow pits together Shrewsbury Town and Gillingham. The Shrews do not seem to be at their sharpest at the start of the season, with the team collecting only two points from the first three league fixtures. The hosts are eager to return to winning ways in the League One as soon as possible, but beating Gillingham behind closed doors is easier said than done.
The good news for the hosts is that defender Ethan Ebanks-Landell has overcome his injury. The Gills, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a day 1 loss to Hull City, with the team beating both Wigan and Blackpool in the previous two league fixtures. Gillingham boss Steve Evans is unlikely to make changes to the starting line-up that faced the Seasiders, and, taking everything into account, the visitors should take advantage of the Shrews’ current form.
