Shrewsbury Town, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 away win over Wycombe Wanderers in their last league game, Shrewsbury Town will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work.
When it comes to attacking power Matt Taylor will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. This season they have failed to score in 12 of their 21 games; however, of the 10 games played at home, they've notched up 4 clean sheets.
Being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 league matches at The Croud Meadow, suggests a consistent run of home form, especially when we consider that 4 of these results were wins.
Portsmouth, Recent FormPortsmouth will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-0 home win against Bolton Wanderers.
With 12 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager John Mousinho will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 8 goals in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games and are currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets.
3 wins in a row away from home has to be viewed as a good run of form on the road, a spell that has also seen them unbeaten in their last 15 matches.
Away from home in the league, Colby Bishop has given the Portsmouth travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 4 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Pompey will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Shrewsbury having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 5 meetings.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams has ended with a share of the spoils but Shrewsbury will be slighlty more concerned that they have not won this fixture in 7 games.
With no real injury worries, Shrewsbury manager Matt Taylor will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Portsmouth manager John Mousinho has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
