Shrewsbury vs Crawley Prediction & Betting Tips

Shrewsbury vs Crawley Preview

Shrewsbury kept successive clean sheets for the first time this season when they defeated Cambridge 2-0 in their recent fixture. A George Lloyd’s 12th minute effort and William Boyle’s 36th minute strike ensured the hosts ended their four-game winless streak and are gradually turning a weakness into strength.

The victory also ended Shrewsbury’s four-game winless streak at the New Meadow, a run that included three defeats and a draw. Extending their unbeaten streak will be the priority as they look to find stability as the season enters it business phase. They currently occupy 22nd place on the table, with nine points from twelve matches.

Meanwhile, Crawley’s poor form dragged on following their 1-1 draw with Walsall last weekend. The visitors dominated the league leaders on all fronts but their poor decision making and indecisiveness in the final third ensured that they settled for a share of the spoils. Their defence also continued to be a source of weakness as they have conceded at least two goals in five of their last six matches.

Away from home, Crawley has just a win across all competitions, drawing one, and six of their eight competitive away matches this season. Improving this run of results will move Crawley closer to achieving their season’s objectives.

Shrewsbury vs Crawley Prediction

Although both teams are level on points, have the same number of wins, draws, and defeats, we expect Shrewsbury to emerge victorious. This is because the hosts have scored more goals and conceded less goals compared to the visitors.

Lastly, we anticipate over 3.5 goals in this game because the last eight head-to-head meetings between the two teams averaged 3.5 goals per game and Crawley’s last six games averaged 3.6 goals per game.
