Shrewsbury Town vs Blackpool Match Analysis & Prediction
04/12/2024 10:45 pm
Blackpool will be looking to bounce back from an FA Cup second-round exit when they travel to the Crowd Meadow to face Shrewsbury Town in League One on Wednesday night.
The visitors are currently occupying 16th position in the League One standings, while the hosts are languishing in the relegation zone.
After replacing Paul Hurst last month, Gareth Ainsworth made an immediate impact at the Crowd Meadow, guiding his new team to a 3-2 victory over promotion-chasing Birmingham City through goals from Aaron Pierre, John Marquis and Tom Bloxham.
While he made a positive start, Ainsworth still has a huge task on his hands, with Shrewsbury sitting five points adrift of safety ahead of Wednesday’s contest.
Meanwhile, Blackpool endured an eight-game winless league run before they finally returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory in their away encounter with Bristol Rovers, through a Bryan Bilongo own goal and a Lee Evans penalty.
Unfortunately for Blackpool, they were unable to build upon that result in Saturday’s FA Cup tie against Birmingham, with Jordan Rhodes’s 55th-minute effort proving fruitless in a 2-1 defeat at Bloomfield Road.
