Shrewsbury vs Barnet Prediction and Betting Tips 31 January 2026

Shrewsbury will be eager to turn their poor form around after a 1-0 loss to Cambridge United, though forward Trey Samuel-Ogunsuyi is unlikely to feature. However, Barnet look unstoppable at the moment and we predict that they will record a 2-0 win over Shrewsbury. The hosts have struggled of late, picking up just 0.50 points per game overall, with a modest 0.17 PPG away. At home they are slightly better, scoring 0.50 goals per match while conceding 1.25, but their attack remains blunt, reflected in an expected goals of 1.46. Shrewsbury’s clean sheet rate of just 25% at home highlights ongoing defensive frailties, while 40% of matches see them fail to score.

Barnet head into Saturday's game in far stronger form, winning four of their last five (WWLWW) and recording 1.70 PPG overall. Their attack is far more efficient, scoring 1.50 goals per match with an expected goals of 1.68, and their defence has kept 50% clean sheets away. They Bees sense an opportunity against a Shrewsbury side that has lost all five away games this season.

Given Barnet's superior form and fine away record, we believe that there is big value in betting on Away Win, alongside Over 1.5 goals and Barnet to Score First.

This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 31 January 2026 at 15:00.
