Bristol Rovers
- Bristol Rovers sit 19th in the league with 37 points from 36 games, and Shrewsbury Town are just two spots ahead and four points better off.
- Bristol Rovers have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five matches.
- The Gas have won back-to-back matches coming into this, beating Crewe Alexandra 2-1 at home before winning 2-0 at Barrow.
Shrewsbury Town
- Shrewsbury have picked up four wins and just one loss during the same spell.
- The Shrews have won each of their last three away matches, so this could be tight.

Betting Insights
- The 2.28 price for a Bristol Rovers win seems a bit short for the hosts, who are rightly favorites here given their recent form and H2H record.
- The new boys have brought their own identities to their new clubs, with Rovers favouring a back four with a midfield three in front that looks to disrupt the game quickly and win second balls, while the Shrews have a three-at-the-back system with wing-backs that looks to overload wide areas and play a more compact brand of soccer.
Prediction
Tommy Leigh has three goals in his last five appearances for Rovers and could be the difference here, so we’re going for a 2-0 victory for the home side.
