Shrewsbury vs Wigan Predictions

• Shrewsbury have failed to win any of their last five matches
• Wigan have the best away record in League One this season
• Wigan won the reverse fixture 2-1 in December

The Shrews have turned it in

Shrewsbury have had little to play for in the league for a few months now and their form has dipped as a result. Steve Cotterill’s side have failed to win any of their last five matches and their season is really finishing with a whimper. Shrewsbury’s players look to have their eyes set on the beach already and may struggle to motivate themselves for the final day of the season as the welcome the league leaders to Montgomery Waters Meadow.

Latics look to be champions in waiting

Wigan are somewhat falling over the line, but the table doesn’t lie and after 45 games The Latics have been the best side in the division. Wigan’s success this season can be largely acquitted to their impressive away record. Wigan have taken 45 points from their 22 away matches in League One this season and as a result hold the best away record in the division. Wigan can lean on their sold record on the road heading into this crunch clash on Saturday and can take further encouragement from the 2-1 victory they recorded over Shrewsbury when the sides met in December.

A win would seal the title for Wigan, and they are expected to do just that. The Latics have been champions in waiting for a few weeks now and they are fancied to finish the job off on Saturday. Wigan to win in the outright market is the main selection for Saturday’s game, continuing the theme of backing sides who still have something to play for on the final day of the season. The correct score prediction for this one will be a 2-0 away win.
