Prediction: 1-1
Leyton Orient
Shrewsbury Town and Leyton Orient take on each other at the Croud Meadow in the last game of the season. The Shrews did well to avoid relegation to League Two, but they surely want to finish the season in style. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Saturday’s encounter. The O’s, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the table with 62 points on their account.
As both Leyton Orient and Shrewsbury Town will go for a win in the Croud Meadow showdown, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. It has to be noted, though, that Leyton have defeated Shrewsbury in each of their previous five meetings in the League One. Both George Moncur and Darren Pratley should be recalled to the starting line-up, speaking of the visiting team.
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.
