Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-2
Stevenage
Shrewsbury Town will be aiming to make amends for the FA Cup loss to Wrexham when they take on Stevenage in the League One round 28. The Shrews defeated Fleetwood Town in their last league match, but they face a tough challenge against the Boro. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
Stevenage, on the other hand, will be without suspended defender Nathan Thompson in the round 28 clash. The Boro have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth and we predict that they will prove their worth on the field. Midfielder Jake Forster-Caskey is likely to drop to the bench after he was a starter in the FA Cup defeat to Maidstone at the weekend. In their last meeting in the English third tier Stevenage defeated Shrewsbury 2-0, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Jake Taylor):
Jake Taylor is a product of the Reading football academy who plays for Exeter City in the League Two. Taylor spent his youth career at Reading, and he continued wearing the blue and white shirt at senior level.
After scoring two goals in 31 appearances with the Royals in the league, the English footballer spent several seasons on loan at the likes of Aldershot Town, Exeter City, Cheltenham Town, Crawley Town, Leyton Orient, and Motherwell. In 2016 Jake Taylor returned to Exeter City, signing a permanent deal with the St James Park outfit.
Despite being born in Ascot, England, on December 1, 1991, Taylor represents Wales on the international stage. He has ten caps with the Wales U21 team, and he made his debut with the Dragons at the senior level in a 2-1 win over Cyprus on October 13, 2014. His primary position is central midfielder.
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.
