Shrewsbury vs Port Vale Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Having recently secured three consecutive victories in three different competitions, Shrewsbury looked as though they may well have turned a corner. However, they were sent crashing back to down to earth when they lost at both Fleetwood and Sheffield United last weekend and during the week and, as a result, find themselves sitting firmly on the bottom of the table.

Despite being in trouble at the foot of the table, the hosts have won their last two at home, while Port Vale aren’t exactly the strongest side in the division so they should certainly be able to compete here. The bet to go for ahead of this one, at odds of 4/5, is ‘Both Teams to Score’.

Having both scored and conceded in four of their nine away (Port Vale) and in five of their nine at home (Shrewsbury) these two aren’t exactly ‘BTTS’ specialists but, against each other it is likely that both teams will fancy their chances and so we could see an open, attacking game – one that invites goal-scoring opportunities.

In addition, Shrewsbury have kept just one clean sheet at home, while Port Vale have only shut their opponents out in two of their nine away matches this season.

In a match that is fairly tricky to assess, in terms of a winner, these two should have enough about them to cause each other trouble and therefore both are fancied to get on the scoresheet.
