Shrewsbury vs Bristol Rovers Preview
Shrewsbury will be aiming to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Exeter, eyeing their third home win of the process. There are no fresh injury worries for Gavin Cowan’s team, who registered 1.25 expected goals in that defeat, suggesting they created enough opportunities to take something from the game. The Shrews will hope to be more clinical in front of their own supporters, having scored 1.00 goal per home game in the supplied sample.
Bristol Rovers, meanwhile, are also looking to bounce back after suffering consecutive 3-1 defeats to Crewe and Barnet. The Pirates have been particularly vulnerable away from home, where defensive mistakes have repeatedly cost them points. Midfielder Tommy Leigh is suspended for this trip, leaving the visitors without another option in the middle of the park as they attempt to stop their slide.
Both teams have reasons to be concerned, but Bristol Rovers’ poor away record gives Shrewsbury a chance to respond. Therefore, Home Win should be considered, alongside Shrewsbury DNB and Shrewsbury to Score First.
