Shrewsbury Town will be desperate to halt a worrying four-match losing streak in League Two when they welcome fellow strugglers Tranmere Rovers to the Croud Meadow on Good Friday following recent losses at the hands of Cheltenham Town, Notts County, Crewe Alexandra and Newport County respectively.

However, despite this recent slump in form, Shrewsbury Town still possess a comfortable looking nine-point cushion between themselves and second from bottom placed club Barrow ahead of this Easter weekend.

Prior to the four-match losing streak, The Shrews had collected six wins from their preceding seven league matches which has contributed to the hosts putting valuable daylight between themselves and the relegation zone, as well as a five-point lead over Good Friday’s opponents, Tranmere Rovers.

Tranmere Rovers occupy 20th place in the table and are just four points above the drop-zone ahead of this tricky looking trip to Shropshire to face Shrewsbury Town on Good Friday and having failed to win any of their last eight matches in League Two, the visitors look to have their work cut out here.

Indeed, seven defeats within these previous eight games suggests Pete Wild’s side would do well to just gain a point at Croud Meadow especially having slipped to recent losses on the road at Notts County, Crewe Alexandra and Newport County.

The wider picture shows Tranmere have managed to capture just one win in their last 15 league matches which came in the form of a 2-0 home win over Crawley Town but it’s also worth mentioning that Tranmere have also been dealt no fewer than 13 defeats within this period as well.

The Betting Verdict

Both sides are in poor form but Shrewsbury Town should get the edge here.
