Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Shrewsbury
Match Time & Date:

21:00
Prediction: 0-2
Wrexham
Thursday’s football game between Shrewsbury Town and Wrexham will open round 27 of the current League One campaign. The Shrews aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Leyton Orient, but they will have yet another big fish to fry against Phil Parkinson’s troops. The good news for the hosts is that talented forward Tom Bloxham has overcome his injury.
The Dragons, on the other hand, are seen as one of the main candidates for automatic promotion. Wrexham proved their worth in a 1-0 win over Peterborough and we predict that they will give fans yet another reason to celebrate on Matchday 27. Earlier this season Wrexham outplayed Shrewsbury 3-0 at Racecourse Ground and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Veteran Steven Fletcher should once again start from the bench despite scoring the winner as a substitute against the Posh.
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.
