Prediction: 1-2
Gillingham
Shrewsbury Town and Gillingham square off against each other at Greenhous Meadow in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. The Shrews made a dreadful start to the season, with the team losing each of their first four league fixtures, and they have yet to find the net in the new 2021/22 League One campaign. Since the hosts are low on spirits ahead of the visit of Gillingham, we are not tempted to put our money on Steve Cotterill’s troops.
The Gills, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Morecambe. Gillingham proved their worth in their last league match, and given Shrewsbury’s poor form, we are tempted to put our money on the visiting team. The good news for the visiting team is that DR Congo defender David Tutonda returns from suspension.
