Stevenage vs Shrewsbury Lineups & Team News

Stevenage

Despite being considered underdogs against Northampton, Stevenage emerged victoriously at Sixfields Stadium. The below-mentioned starters were the ones to whom coach Evans delegated the task of getting three points, and they didn’t disappoint. Carl Piergianni’s 80^th-minute winner proved decisive, as Stevenage went home with big smiles on their faces.

Predicted lineup – Ashby-Hammond (GK), Piergianni, Burns, N. Thompson, L. Thompson, Wildin, B. Thompson, Butler, Roberts, Pressley & Reid

Shrewsbury

Defeating the Robins 1-0 at the New Meadow Stadium was definitely an impressive result by Salop. Coach Wade Elliott’s boys had a tremendous pre-season, so it was surprising to see them get bested by a somewhat mediocre Shrewsbury side. Salop had 57.0% possession, but it was the visitors who had more shots at target. Coach Talor should count his blessings that his boys kept a clean sheet.

Predicted lineup – Marosi (GK), Feeney, Flanagan, Anderson, Winchester, Perry, Kenneh, Bayliss, Shipley, Bowman & Udoh

Player to Watch: Ryan Bowman

In this Stevenage vs Shrewsbury prediction, we have Salop’s Bowman as the key player to keep an eye out for. Ryan scored the only goal at New Meadow last week. His 50^th-minute stunner was enough, as Salop bested poor Robins, who looked quite sharp. Ryan Bowman’s skills will be needed on the 12^th of August as well, as Stevenage already kept a clean sheet. He’ll have to find a way past the Burns – Piergianni wall.
