Fleetwood Town host Shrewsbury Town in a League Two fixture, with neither side able to point to a convincing run of results. CheckLive have not named a favourite, leaving this one genuinely open — a draw is a real possibility. Both teams will value the points as they aim to build some momentum.
Fleetwood come in with three wins and two draws from their last five, including a 2-2 draw with Grimsby Town and a 1-0 league win over Chesterfield, and they have kept four clean sheets in that run. Shrewsbury have won two of their last five — both against Salford City — but they also lost 1-3 to Barnet, 0-2 to Tranmere Rovers, and 0-4 at Fleetwood in the EFL Cup.
The head-to-head is evenly balanced: from eight meetings, Fleetwood and Shrewsbury each have three wins, with two draws. Their most recent meeting, in the EFL Cup, went to Fleetwood 4-0, a result Shrewsbury will want to put right. With no CheckLive favourite, the key watchpoint is whether Fleetwood's recent solidity at the back can cope with a Shrewsbury side that has conceded freely but also scored freely.
