Shrewsbury Town will host Bristol Rovers in a League One fixture at New Meadow on Tuesday night. The hosts are heading into the match on the back of a a disappointing 3-0 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday last weekend, while the Pirates played out a goalless draw away to Peterborough United. The Shrews are currently occupying 13th spot in the English third tier standings, having collected 56 points from 44 games, while the visitors are sitting two places behind them, separated by three points, and nine points clear of the relegation zone. Meanwhile, the reverse fixture between these two sides in August last year ended in a 1-1 draw after Shrewsbury striker Ryan Bowman canceled out Ryan Loft’s opener.

Shrewsbury got thrashed by third-placed Sheffield Wednesday courtesy of Michael Smith hat-trick. The result extended their unbeaten run to eight games in the third tier, while losing seven matches in the period. The Shrews have recorded 16 league-wins this term and their last success came against relegation-threatened Morecambe in March. Salop finished 17th in the standings last season but this time around, a top half finish is very much possible, as Steve Cotterill’s men are trailing 12th-placed Fleetwood only by one point and have a game in hand. Meanwhile, Shrewsbury have taken 33 points from their 22 matches at New Meadow this term.
Bristol Rovers, on the other hand, have been impressive on their travels, collecting 28 points from a possible 66. The Pirates were only promoted to League One last season, so they have done well to avoid being involved in the relegation-battle, and currently sitting at the 15th position, with 53 points to their name. Meanwhile, since getting the better of Fleetwood on April 10, the Gas have gone on a five games winless run in the third tier, losing three matches in the period. Last Saturday, Joey Barton’s side earned a point against playoff-challengers Peterborough at ABAX Stadium, and the result ended their three-game losing streak.
Shrewsbury Town probable starting lineup: Marosi, Flanagan, Dunkley, Moore, Bennett, Winchester, Shipley, Leahy, Phillips, Street, Saydee
Bristol Rovers probable starting lineup: Balcombe, Gibbons, Quansah, Gibson, Gordon, Ward, Bogarde, Finley, Collins, Loft, Coburn
