Shrewsbury Town welcome the visitors Stoke City in the English FA Cup – 1/32 Finals. The match will be held on Saturday, January 5th, at the Greenhous Meadow (Shrewsbury).
Shrewsbury Town are typical homeplayers. While managing to get just 7 points in 13 League One outings, at home, they could rack up 23. Furthermore, this campaign, the hosts have lost only thrice at the Greenhous Meadow, and their present home no-loss streak counts 9 matches. On their turf, the Town are leaking much less than on their travels – thus, in their 6 latest home matches, they allowed only 3 goals, and in 4 of these clashes, they played yet ‘to nil’. That said, the team are regularly scoring as well. In the previous 9 rounds, only Fleetwood Town failed to keep a clean sheet in their trip to Shrewsbury.

Following Stoke City’s dropping out to the Championship league, Сhoupo-Moting and Shaqiri have left the club, which had certain consequences. The guests are struggling in the attack despite their enhancement by Afobe and Ince. On top of that, Diouf has seriously receded this campaign and, therefore, was sent to the reserve team. As a result, the guests alternate a streak of effective matches with a goalless one. Thus, in the last 3 rounds, they failed to find the net, though their previous 4 December games saw 7 goals shipped. At this, Stoke did not manage to score even to Bolton who have allowed 38 goals on the road. The guests’ defensive line is not great either. The team registered 21 goals in 14 outings and played ‘to nil’ in only 4 of those.
Stoke City are very uneven in their performance, so, the odds on their win are high. Moreover, the visiting side won in only 2 of their 14 away matches, in the last 2 ones, they did not make a goal. Shrewsbury, on the contrary, play great in front of their own fans, they taste no defeat in 9 consecutive rounds. The hosts are capable of avoiding a loss in the coming Saturday clash as well.
Prediction for the match: Shrewsbury Town to win home or Draw.
