Shrewsbury Town vs Barnsley Odds

Saturday afternoon sees Shrewsbury Town take on Barnsley in a highly anticipated League One clash at the Montgomery Waters Meadow, with kick-off set for 15:00 BST. Under the management of Paul Hurst, Shrewsbury will look to turn their fortunes around against Darrell Clarke’s Barnsley, who are keen to maintain their push for promotion.

Shrewsbury Town vs Barnsley Betting Tips

As we delve into the Shrewsbury Town vs Barnsley betting tips, it’s important to note that Shrewsbury currently sit in 22nd place in the League One table after 13 matches, highlighting their struggles this season. Their home record consists of just one win, one draw, and four losses from six matches, resulting in a total of five goals scored and ten conceded. With only one clean sheet to their name, Shrewsbury will need to shore up their defence if they hope to challenge Barnsley effectively.

In contrast, Barnsley occupy 8th place with 19 points from 12 matches, showcasing a much stronger away performance with four wins from six. The Tykes average 1.5 goals per game on the road while conceding 1.3, indicating a more balanced approach. Given these statistics, a bet on Barnsley to win seems to be a sound investment.

Shrewsbury Town vs Barnsley Match Prediction

When considering the Shrewsbury Town vs Barnsley prediction, historical performance leans heavily in favour of the visitors. Barnsley are unbeaten against Shrewsbury in their last five league meetings, and the odds suggest they are likely to continue that trend. With Shrewsbury’s recent form, including a 1-0 defeat to Bristol Rovers, their confidence may be wavering.

We predict a competitive encounter but ultimately expect Barnsley to edge it, as their attacking prowess should exploit Shrewsbury’s defensive frailties.

Match Prediction: Barnsley to win. Bet with bet365.

Shrewsbury Town vs Barnsley Correct Score Tips & Prediction

Focusing on the Shrewsbury Town vs Barnsley score prediction, we anticipate a closely fought match that could very well finish 1-0 in favour of Barnsley. Shrewsbury have struggled to find the net consistently at home, failing to score in three of their last six matches. Given Barnsley’s solid away form, a scoreline of 0-1 seems plausible, reflecting their ability to find the back of the net while also containing the home side.
