Shrewsbury Town vs Wrexham prediction and betting tips on January 7, 2024
Shrewsbury Town will play Wrexham at home in the FA Cup 3rd round match. The teams represent different divisions, but it is not so easy to determine the favorite of the confrontation. The team meeting will take place on January 7, 2024.
Shrewsbury Town
After a comfortable 3-1 win over Fleetwood Town, the team will be looking to repeat their success in the FA Cup battle.
Until recently, Shrewsbury Town was on a streak of four defeats in a row, but managed to snatch victory in the last round of English League 1. In the last five games, the team scored only four goals and three of them came in the last match.
In the national championship standings, Shrewsbury Town is in 13th place and is still far from fighting for promotion.
Wrexham
In the last round, this team defeated Barrow with a score of 4:1 and secured third place in the English League 2 standings.
Wrexham have won four of their last five matches and scored 10 goals against their opponents - an average of two goals per game. The team has a certain improvement in the game and they can hardly be considered an outsider in the upcoming meeting, even despite the difference in divisions.
History of the confrontation and prediction for the match
The history of the teams' meetings is not on Wrexham's side - Shrewsbury wins five against one. Their last meeting ended with a minimal victory for the Shropshires (1:0), so the fight promises to be very intense.
The visiting attack can cause a lot of problems for the opponent, who is performing very unstable. I'll bet that the guests will advance to the next stage of the competition, although bookmakers are also inclined towards this outcome. I'm betting on Wrexham to win in normal time.
