Northampton Town - Shrewsbury Town predictions

Northampton Town might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Shrewsbury Town are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

It’s highly unlikely that Shrewsbury Town will manage to get some points this round. Northampton Town are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

Northampton Town surprised everyone with their excellent performance in the last round. They were fighting an uphill battle as visitors against Charlton Athletic with a draw result at half-time. However, they pulled ahead later in the game, securing 3 more points in a 2:3 victory.

Shrewsbury Town never stood much of a chance against Peterborough United in the previous round, so the lead they took in the first half was a big surprise. Sadly, though, they lost all momentum in the second half, resulting in a 2:1 away defeat.

Northampton Town’s recent League One away games were marked by a lot of concessions – 6 over the last 3 matches, to be exact. Therefore, betting on goals might be a fairly reasonable option here.

Shrewsbury Town are on a bit of a losing streak when it comes to away games. They’ve lost 3 of them consecutively.

Northampton Town previously played this match as the visitors in a previous round of the League One and suffered a fairly narrow defeat. Most bookies believe things will end differently this time, pricing a home win at 1.92.

Saturday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

If you’re feeling confident, a Draw/Home wager in the Half Time/Full Time market is the way to go. It’s a fairly risky move, but likely the best way to get some value out of the match this Saturday.
