Shrewsbury to Win

Reason for tip

Shrewsbury look a live bet despite the league positions. They’ve won three straight at home and boast a solid defensive record at New Meadow, conceding just seven goals in eight League Two matches. Gillingham, meanwhile, have fallen away badly — only one win in their last eight — and continue to struggle for clean sheets, with nine failures in their previous eleven outings. The form lines lean toward the hosts.

Shrewsbury 2-1

Reason for tip

A 2-1 Shrewsbury win fits neatly. Gillingham matches have featured goals at both ends recently, and all four of their league defeats have come by a single-goal margin. Shrewsbury’s improved home scoring and tight defensive base point toward another narrow, hard-earned victory.

Shrewsbury Backed to Extend Home Surge Against Gillingham

Shrewsbury have won their last three home games in League Two and they are the best bet to get another win when Gillingham visit on Saturday.

Gillingham are 15 places above Shrewsbury in the table, with an 11-point gap between the two sides. Gillingham, who have won seven, drawn six and lost four of their 17 games this season, sit seventh, while Shrewsbury are 22nd with just four wins so far.

Shrewsbury have been impressive defensively at home this season, conceding just seven goals in eight League Two games – an average of 0.88 goals per game. They have kept four clean sheets in their last six on home turf.

The visitors are out of form. Gillingham have only won one of their last eight League Two matches.

They have looked vulnerable at the back. Gillingham have failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last 11 League Two games.

Shrewsbury may be able to edge out Gillingham in a closely-fought game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Both teams have scored in five of Gillingham’s last seven League Two games and all of their four defeats this season have been by a single goal.
