Swindon vs Shrewsbury Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Swindon and Shrewsbury are two teams who’ve been lacking in the form department of late. Neither of them comes into this game having achieved the desired results and, as a result, it’s likely that both will be looking at this as not just an important match but a winnable one too.

Neither of this pair have performed well lately, but Swindon’s home form, in relation to Shrewsbury’s form on the road, is hard to ignore and thus the hosts are worth backing to get the job done.

They might find themselves hovering dangerously above the drop-zone right now, but Swindon’s home form hasn’t been bad at all recently. Having lost just once in their last five at home, the hosts are now unbeaten in four home matches, including a win over Bradford and a more than respectable draw against the in-form Southend. Shrewsbury can’t match such form and come into this off the back of two consecutive defeats on the road and just one win in their last ten away from home.

The Swindon defence has looked much better at home recently, conceding just three goals in their last five at home, keeping three clean sheets in the process. In fact, in conceding just 11 goals, the hosts have one of the better defensive records overall when playing at home this season. On top of this the hosts are also towards the top of the home clean sheet table.

It’s hard to argue that Swindon don’t come into this match in better shape than their opponents and, against a side who’ve lost eight times on the road this season, this fixture looks an ideal opportunity for them to continue their good home form.
