Shrewsbury vs Huddersfield Predictions

Visitors can edge high-scoring affair

Goals look like the bet when Shrewsbury host Huddersfield in League One on Saturday.

The home side have conceded in 19 of their last 20 league games and, with both teams struggling for form, over 2.5 goals could be the best option.

Huddersfield are 18 places above Shrewsbury in the table, with 30 points separating the two teams. The hosts sit 22nd with four wins and 15 losses, while Huddersfield are fourth, having won 14 and lost five of their 24 games.

Huddersfield are in form on the road, having won their last four League One away games, including a 1-0 victory over Wycombe on Tuesday.

Six of Huddersfield’s 11 League One away games this season have had three goals or more, and with the hosts struggling defensively, Saturday’s clash could see plenty of goals.

Both teams have shown signs of scoring recently. Shrewsbury have found the net in eight of their last nine league games, while Huddersfield have scored 19 goals from their 11 away games in League One – an average of 1.7 goals per game. Shrewsbury’s struggles at the back will give Huddersfield confidence.

Huddersfield are on a run of four straight wins away from home and the 2-1 victory for Huddersfield looks like a solid option in the correct score market. Shrewsbury have lost seven times by a single goal this season, which suggests they are capable of keeping the scoreline close.
