Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury suffered yet another defeat on Tuesday night when losing 0-3 away vs Oxford. The Shrews once again made a slow start and never recovered. They continued to struggle in attack too despite a complete change of strikers for that game.
Shrewsbury have not scored in the last 5 rounds and this is why they’ve earned just 1 point from those matches. The Shrews have scored only 4 goals in 10 rounds and the problems in attack have been their main issue.
After being benched in midweek without much change of fortunes Udoh and Mata could start again now. The manager is desperate for at least one of his four struggling strikers to finally find a way to put the ball into the back of the net.
Influential defender Anderson misses this match suspended. Also, none of the quarter of long-term absentees will be back any time soon. Among them is the main left-back Nurse.
Predicted Lineup:
Marosi (GK), Feeney, Flanagan, Dunkley, Winchester, Perry, Bayliss, Kenneh, Bennett, Mata & Udoh
Northampton
Northampton pulled away from the relegation zone with a nice 3-1 home win vs Reading on Tuesday night. Scoring two early goals was decisive and despite being way too passive and negative in the second half they claimed a deserved win.
The confidence is good after securing back-to-back wins but the issues in defence remain with Northampton struggling for clean sheets.
This could be attributed to the absence of two key defenders. Both Koiki and Magloire remain in the treatment room and they have been missed a lot. The midfield line is also depleted right now with 3 players from that zone also sidelined.
Predicted Lineup:
Burge (GK), Odimayo, Sherring, Guthrie, Brough, McWilliams, Leonard, Bowie, Pinnock, Hoskins & Appere
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Daniel Udoh
Shrewsbury’s centre forward Daniel Udoh was the team’s top goalscorer back in the 2021-22 season. He missed the entire last year due to an ACL injury and despite being fully fit now he is yet to rediscover his form.
Udoh scored one league goal back in August but he hasn’t done much else since. Still, he remains the main hope for Shrewsbury to start scoring and he is our pick as a player to watch. In-form Udoh can decide any game of football, the big question being is he ever coming back?
