Shrewsbury vs Accrington Stanley Predictions

• The last seven League One meetings between these two have witnessed an average of 2.6 goals per game.
• Four of Shrewsbury Town’s last five matches have seen three or more goals scored.

Two sides in good recent form

Both teams come into this one after putting back-to-back wins together in this fixture provides an opportunity to make it three in a row.

The hosts recent two games were victories over Cheltenham and Fleetwood Town and as a result, they’ve moved up to 18th in the table with 25 points from 23 games. Steve Cotterill’s men are five points clear of the relegation zone but more interestingly, they sit just four points behind Ipswich Town who occupy eleventh place. The Shrews home form has been key as they’ve won four of their last five matches at Montgomery Waters Meadow.

Visitors Accrington Stanley surprised everybody when they took three points from league leaders Rotherham United last time out and it means their confidence should be sky-high coming into this one. They sit just six points off of the playoff places and a victory here would see them edge ever closer to competing for promotion.

Goals in abundance

This is an interestingly poised game as two sides in good recent form go head-to-head. Both will want to capitalise on that form and given that Shrewsbury Town’s games of late have been high scoring affairs, we fancy an end-to-end game with plenty of chances for both teams. As a result, we think there could be a few goals here.
