Cheltenham are brimming with confidence following a 2-1 win over Barrow and given Shrewsbury's ups and downs on the road, our prediction points toward a 2-1 home win. The Robins head into this clash on the back of an encouraging run, taking 10 points from their last five matches and averaging 3.00 total goals per game across that stretch. Their home form remains a strong foundation: they’ve collected 1.83 points per game at home, scoring 2.00 goals on average and keeping clean sheets in 33% of those fixtures. Cheltenham’s expected goals of 1.24 at home reflects steady attacking output, and with BTTS landing in 67% of their home games, this side consistently produces open contests. Ryan Broom remains sidelined, but his absence did not hinder their 2–1 win over Barrow.
The Shrews travel to West England after an inconsistent spell, though their recent performances show improvement, taking points in four of their last five. Their away matches are particularly eventful, averaging 3.33 goals per game, with BTTS hitting 100% on the road. Defensively, they have struggled away from home, conceding 1.83 goals per match, while their xGA of 1.39 suggests ongoing vulnerabilities. Encouragingly, Shrewsbury have no fresh injury concerns, giving boss Matt Taylor a fully available group.
As Shrewsbury’s 100% BTTS away record is compelling, Both Teams to Score bet seems tempting, with additional value on Home Win and Over 2.5 goals.
This League 2 match will be played on Friday 26 December 2025 at 15:00.
