Shrewsbury vs Gillingham Preview
Following a thrilling 3-3 draw with Rotherham United, Shrewsbury Town will be eager to return to winning ways in League Two when they face Gillingham on Saturday. The Shrews have been inconsistent lately, but their recent home performances offer some encouragement, with two wins in their last five matches at Croud Meadow. They have also conceded just 1.20 goals per game on home soil. Talented midfielder Kian McMahon-Brown is suspended, while there are no fresh injury concerns, leaving the hosts with a relatively settled squad despite his absence.
Gillingham, meanwhile, do not seem to be at the top of their games, having gone three matches without a win. The Gills suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat to Grimsby Town in their last league outing, and manager Gareth Ainsworth is expected to make changes, with both Eaves and Kendall pushing for starting spots. Their defensive record is a concern, particularly away from home, where they have conceded 2.33 goals per game and failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last three trips.
Anyhow, Shrewsbury to Win is worth considering, as Gillingham have struggled defensively on the road. Over 1.5 goals looks a solid option, with 15 of the 18 previous meetings producing at least two goals.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday, 31 October 2026 at 15:00 in New Meadow, Shrewsbury, England.
