Key Shrewsbury vs Cambridge prediction and League One betting tips

Shrewsbury hosts Cambridge at Montgomery Waters Meadow on Saturday in an attempt to get a second League One consecutive victory.

Shrewsbury to win

Salop are the ones with the momentum and with a confident performance against Sunderland in the FA Cup on the 7^th of January, we feel that the home team will like to continue with this high-flying display. Sure, there’s nothing glamorous about being in 14^th place but it’s a commendable accomplishment considering what were the expectations at the start of the season. There’s no head-to-head advantage in this game as three of the last matches ended with victories for Shrewsbury, three were won by Cambridge, and four ended in draws, but we feel that the momentum is going to play a key role and Cambridge are simply freefalling to the bottom these days.

Under 2.5 goals

Shrewsbury is a rather difficult opponent at Montgomery Waters Meadow and we already saw that a bunch of times this season. Even Sunderland barely made it out alive from this venue in the FA Cup a couple of days ago.

Furthermore, seven of the last 10 head-to-heads between Shrewsbury and Cambridge ended with two or fewer goals. The last match was a 2:1 victory for Cambridge that we highly doubt will be repeated any time soon.

Both teams to score – No

Cambridge are in the relegation zone for a reason and it is as jarringly obvious as a bucket to the head. Coach Mark Bonner’s boys can’t seem to find their way to the opposition’s penalty areas and things aren’t going to be much different on the 21^st of January.

Visits to Montgomery Waters Meadow are always painful and you need to be at your lethal best if you want to retain chances for something meaningful. And Cambridge simply lack both momentum and class up front.

Shrewsbury vs Cambridge: match preview & news

You shouldn’t be hasty with your bet-making decisions. Make sure you’ve given our Shrewsbury vs Cambridge match preview a good read.

Shrewsbury

Salop are the ones who have the higher ground as the team is currently occupying 14^th place. Perhaps a promotion fight participation would be a bit of a stretch but we fully expect Shrewsbury to show class and add up to their solid 32 points.

Steve Cotterill is likely to go with the same starting line-up that managed a big win over Burton Albion in the recent match. Julien Da Costa, Daniel Udoh, and George Nurse are the players who remain on the treatment table for the home team.

Cambridge

The U’s are struggling to perform in League One and that’s not a surprise to anyone. With seven victories, three draws, and 15 losses, you are never going to escape the relegation zone and coach Mark Bonner knows it.

Mamadou Jobe comes into the game as the only injury worry for Cambridge United, who are likely to bring some changes to the starting line-up in a bid to recover from three consecutive losses. Manager Mark Bonner has seen his team drop down to 21^st place following the loss against Bristol Rovers. Cambridge are now just three points away from the bottom spot in the league table.
