ROTHERHAM UNITED v SHREWSBURY TOWN
Saturday 18th November 2017 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – League One Betting Tips
One of the pick of this Saturday’s League One fixtures features a top six clash between Rotherham United and Shrewsbury Town at the New York Stadium with both teams harbouring serious promotion ambitions.
Paul Warne’s Rotherham outfit rescued a point with a late, late equaliser away at Doncaster Rovers in the south Yorkshire derby last weekend, and this will give them a much needed boost when they play host to League One leaders, Shrewsbury on Saturday.
Rotherham are without a win from their last four matches in League One as they’ve suffered defeats to AFC Wimbledon and Gillingham, and drawn with Oxford United and Doncaster, but The Posh are the highest goalscorers in the division, and will turn to leading scorer Moore (13 goals) as they look to return to winning ways.
Visitors Shrewsbury Town now hold a slender one point cushion over second placed Wigan Athletic at the top of League One following a 1-0 defeat away at Peterborough United last time out, so The Shrews will be keen to get a result of sorts against free-scoring Rotherham here today.
Defeat at Peterborough was their first loss of the new campaign for Shrewsbury who have lost just twice in their last 21 league matches, and with a reasonable looking away record of 4-3-1 10/7 behind them, they should give a good account of themselves in this important clash.
Shrewsbury’s leading goalscorer is Payne (6 goals) but he’s well supported by the likes of Morris (4 goals), Rodman (3 goals) and fellow forward, John-Lewis.
To sum up, I’m expecting both teams to score here with both clubs keen to enhance their promotion credentials.
