Burton Albion, Recent FormBurton Albion will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Blackpool.
The last 6 games have been a mixed bag for them and the 4 points they have picked up belies their poor defending and unremarkable goal scoring of late, having only managed 3 goals whilst conceding 12 at the other end. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.
Shrewsbury Town, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Shrewsbury Town players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Cheltenham Town.
Manager Matt Taylor will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 4 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have been unable to score away from home in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
On an individual basis, Taylor Perry will be looking to cause Burton Albion some problems having scored 2 goals in Shrewsbury Town's last 6 away games in the league.
It was not a positive ending for Burton Albion last time they met Shrewsbury Town in the league, with the game ending in a 2-1 defeat.
