A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: League Two
Venue: Peninsula Stadium
Sunday 4th January 2026, 1500hrs (GMT)
Salford City will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to eight games overall under manager Karl Robinson on Sunday afternoon when they play host to lowly Shrewsbury Town at the Peninsula Stadium.
The hosts have registered five wins and two draws within these last seven matches and includes picking up wins in the domestic fourth tier over the likes of Colchester United, Barnet, Harrogate Town and Barrow, along with a previous comprehensive 4-0 home win against League One outfit Leyton Orient in the FA Cup.
The bigger picture shows Salford City have slipped to just one loss in their last nine matches and another three points at their Peninsula Stadium could see The Ammies climb up into one of the automatic promotion spots.
Shrewsbury Town currently find themselves perched just two points above the relegation zone in the League Two table ahead of this tough looking trip to face high-flying Salford City on Sunday afternoon.
The Shrews have managed to pick up just four wins throughout this season’s League Two campaign while also being dealt no fewer than 13 defeats within their total of 24 league matches played to date this term.
In addition, Michael Appleton’s side have failed to win any of their last six matches in the fourth tier which includes losing their last four games on the trot and with a poor away record under their belts which stands at 1-3-8 11/26, the visitors look to have their work cut out at the Peninsula Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Betting Verdict
Salford City have won the last two meetings on the trot against Shrewsbury Town and the hosts look set to make it three on the bounce on Sunday.
The Pick :
Salford City 2-1 Shrewsbury Town
