Shrewsbury Town is ahead of its upcoming opponent by only one line and two points. The Shrews take 17th place with 43 points scored. Accordingly, the team's gap from the relegation zone is nine points. In the current championship, Shrewsbury has scored 37 goals and conceded 38 times. The last 10 matches of the team ended in four victories, four draws, and two losses. Previous rounds ended for Shrewsbury in 1:1 draws with Hull and Charlton, a 0:2 win over Rochdale, and a 0:2 loss to Fleetwood. In the last five away matches, the team has won two times, gained two draws, and suffered one defeat.
The teams have gained roughly the same number of victories in previous head-to-head meetings. The last three head-to-head matches ended in draws. The opponents are neighbors in the standings, but the teams' scoring indicators are noticeably different. Burton conceded 20 more goals into its net than Shrewsbury, but the team plays more efficiently in the attack, which will give it a slight advantage. We think that the hosts won’t lose, and the fans will see at least two goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Burton to win with +0.5 handicap and Over 1.5 goals scored
