Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Shrewsbury Town will be aiming to put an end their slide in the League One when they take on Stockport County on Tuesday evening. The Shrews shared the spoils with Rotherham United at the weekend following three consecutive defeats and they are now on a quest to return to winning ways. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, Tom Bloxham should sneak into the starting XI.
The Hatters, meanwhile, failed to win the previous four league matches. As both Stockport County and Shrewsbury Town will go for a in the midweek clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Dave Challinor should have a full squad to choose from as well. You should bear in mind, though, that Stockport County defeated Shrewsbury Town 1-0 in their last meeting in a competitive match.
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.
