Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following three consecutive defeats in League One, Shrewsbury Town will look to get back on course when they face Rotherham United at the Croud Meadow. The Shrews suffered a dip in form, but they are surely capable of matching the Millers, who continue to struggle on the travels. As Aristote Nsiala limped off with injury in the last league fixture, Grenada international Aaron Pierre is likely to sneak into the starting XI.
Rotherham United, on the other hand, have yet to record a win on the road this term, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on draw. Even though there are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team, midfielder Joe Powell should sneak into the starting eleven. You should bear in mind that the two sides played out a goalless draw in their last meeting at the Croud Meadow.
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.
