Shrewsbury vs Huddersfield predictions, betting tips & match preview

Shrewsbury come off the back of a poor season in League One last season having just avoided the drop. Huddersfield faded badly towards the end of that season, winning 1 of their last 8 games. They managed to concede 9 goals in the final 2 games alone.

Shrewsbury have signed 9 players for this season’s campaign. They have sold 7 players, who were noted as surplus to requirements in Shropshire. Huddersfield have made quite a few new signings with Danny Ward, Ivan Paurevic, Jon Stankovic, Christopher Schindler, Jack Payne, Michael Hefele, Chris Lowe and Rajiv van La Parra all tranferring to the club but forward man Nakhi Wells is more than likely going to still be their main man up top.

Shrewsbury have played 5 friendlies this summer. They have won 2 and lost 3. Another all or nothing side heading into the new season. They have managed to scored 6 and concede 14. Huddersfield had played 5 friendlies in the summer, winning 2, drawing 2 and losing 1. They scored 5 and conceded only 2 – that was at home to Liverpool who fielded a fairly strong side in that game.

Huddersfield are the clear favourites to win this match with the bookies but anything can happen in domestic cups and especially with Shrewsbury having the home advantage. However, with everything in mind, we feel Huddersfield will be far too strong for League One outfit Shrewsbury. We predict a correct score betting tip of 2-0 to Huddersfield at a massive 10/1 with bet365. We believe Huddersfield will also keep a clean sheet in this one. Therefore, we are also predicting a betting tip of Both Teams to Score – NO, at 21/20 with bet365.
