A Shrewsbury clean sheet?
Sometimes form will take predictions in the direction of a match result. On this occasion we're going to kick our tips off with a look at the both teams to score market. Thankfully, the recent form of both sides paints a fairly clear picture. Crewe have only been involved in three games in their last 10 where goals have gone in at both ends. Shrewsbury's record in the last 10 is exactly the same on that front. That means that between the two sides in their last 20 games, 14 of them have ended to nil in one direction or the other.
Shrewsbury to take final day win
Now we move our predictions to the match results business with the suggestion that Shrewsbury win the game. They have only won one of their last four but you have to make allowances for the strength of their opposition; narrow defeats to Oxford and Lincoln are hardly a disgrace. Of course, Crewe have a part to play in the game too. Their form has hardly been amazing with three defeats and two draws in their past five home matches. You could argue it makes the game a tough call but Shrewsbury have won on their last three visits to Crewe, which swing things in their favour.
A low scoring end to the campaign
A look over both sides recent form hardly leads us to the conclusion that we're in for an end of season goal-a-thon. Crewe have come in under the 2.5 mark in six of their last 10 home matches with just two goals seen across their last two. Then there is Shrewsbury's away form. Seven of their last 10 have been under three goals with three of their last four all coming in with a maximum of two goals.

Very much an end of season affair

Things have played out exactly like that with neither side playing for anything in the final game. That in itself doesn't mean the game will be dull but it's hard to imagine the match being full of top quality football.
