Tranmere v Shrewsbury
An important match at the wrong end of the League 1 table is Tranmere v Shrewsbury.
Tranmere host Shrewsbury off the back of only 1 defeat in 5, winning 3 of those. It is also their first match after the sacking of Ronnie Moore, although he had been suspended since 17th of February due to an FA investigation into an alleged betting breach. Tranmere’s recent run of form has seen them move out of the relegation zone and there are now 2 places and 3 points above the drop. They also have a game in hand on all of the bottom four.
Shrewsbury come into this match having beaten another relegation rival in Stevenage last time out. However, it was only their second win in 9. Due to this they find themselves 22nd, two points from safety, although the 2 teams above the drop zone have a game in hand. I believe that Shrewsbury will have to win their next 2 games in order to stay up, as the 2 matches after that are against teams in the top 6.
