Match Preview

Recent meetings between these teams have not been one-sided, as both teams have two wins a piece, with two draws between them in their last six encounters.

Things have not gone too well for Shrewsbury Town in recent weeks; they have lost three matches in a row, scoring just one goal in that three-game stretch.

By comparison, Sunderland have fared relatively better than their hosts; the Black Cats are unbeaten in their last four games, with two wins and two draws.

Sunderland are a Championship side, while Shrewsbury Town play in League One so the away side are favourites to win.

Tony Mowbray has already indicated that he is going there with a strong side to win the game.

“We’re (Sunderland) going to Shrewsbury and we are going to try and win. There is a balance to be had in terms of how strong a team do you need to pick to win.”

Taking both teams’ recent form into account, Sunderland really should win this match at a canter.

Shrewsbury Town did not score a single goal in their last two games, with one goal scored in their last three matches.

Because of their lack of goals, Steve Cotterill’s men tend to concede first. In contrast, Sunderland opened the scoring in five of their last seven matches.

Furthermore, when these teams meet, the Black Cats tend to score first; as they drew first blood in four of their last five encounters with Shrewsbury.

That said, Sunderland should bag the first goal.
