Prediction: 3-0
Southend
Shrewsbury Town and Southend United face each other at Montgomery Waters Meadow on day 9 of the new League One campaign. The Shrews are undefeated at home ground and you should bear in mind that they managed to keep a clean sheet in each of their first three home fixtures in the new season.
The hosts are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Tuesday’s football match and given Southend United’s poor start to the season, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of finding the net at Montgomery Waters Meadow. The Shrimpers have collected only one point from possible 21 in the 2019/2020 League One season and seeing that they were beaten by Shrewsbury Town in each of their last five meetings in the English third tier, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed from the trip to Shropshire.
