Shrewsbury and Harrogate face each other in a bottom-of-the-table clash in League Two, with both sides struggling for form. As they seem to be evenly matched at the moment, our prediction points toward a 1-1 draw. The Shrews sit 22nd and are on a five-game losing streak, conceding an average of 2.3 goals per match while scoring just 1.0, highlighting major defensive and attacking issues. At home, they’ve failed to win in recent fixtures, keeping no clean sheets, and their heavy 6-1 FA Cup loss to Wolves underlines ongoing frailties.
Harrogate, 23rd, have a similarly poor record, scoring only 0.8 goals per game and conceding 1.7. Injuries to Duke-McKenna, Gibson, and Hill weaken their squad further, with Tom Bradbury a major doubt. Away form is particularly concerning, with no wins and just 0.5 points per game. Head-to-head history is limited, with Harrogate winning their only previous encounter.
As bottom teams often cancel each other out, we are tempted to place our bets on draw, alongside Under 2.5 goals and Half-Time Draw.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 17 January 2026 at 15:00.
