Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Tuesday’s postponed fixture at Greenhous Meadow pits together Shrewsbury Town and Ipswich Town, the two teams have nothing to play for in the season finale. Shrewsbury suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Lincoln City and Oxford United in the previous two league fixtures. The Shrews are eager to give fans something to cheer about, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in the midweek clash. Steve Cotterill has a full squad to choose from.
The Tractor Boys, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Swindon, and seeing that both sides will be with guards down in Tuesday’s game, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Ipswich Town defender James Wilson is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Player (Aaron Pierre):
Born on February 17, 1993 in Southall, England Aaron Pierre is a professional footballer who plays for Shrewsbury Town in the League One as a defender. Pierre started his youth career at Fulham at the age of 15 and in 2011 he moved to Brentford youth school.
Speaking of his senior career, the 185-cm-tall defender played for the likes of Brentford, Cambridge United, Wycombe Wanderers and Northampton Town before signing a deal with Shrewsbury Town in the summer of 2019. Aaron Pierre signed for the League One side for an undisclosed fee, penning a three-year deal. Despite being born in England, the Shrewsbury Town footballer represents Granada on the international stage.
He received his first call-up for the Grenada national team in September, 2015, but he has yet to find the net with the Spice Boys. The Grenada international’s main position is centre-back, whereas his preferred foot is left.
Highlighted Team (Ipswich):
Ipswich Town are an English football club that was formed in 1878. Portman Road has been the home ground of Ipswich Town since 1894 and the capacity of the venue, which was expanded in 2002, is 30,311. The Tractor Boys compete in the Championship, but they used to play in the English Premier League in the past as well. Ipswich Town last appeared in the elite division in the 2001/2002 season.
Ipswich won the FA Cup in 1978, with the team beating Arsenal (1-0) in the title game. However, the club’s biggest success came in 1981 when they outplayed AZ Alkmaar in the UEFA Cup final. It has to be noted that the Tractor Boys have yet to suffer a loss at home ground in the European competitions.
Norwich City are regarded as Ipswich Town’s bitterest rivals and it is well known that the two sides take on each other in the East Anglian derby.
