Shrewsbury Town and Bristol Rovers will do battle at The Croud Meadow on matchday 11 of League Two. Neither side has been in convincing form, which could lead to a tight affair where goals will be at a premium. With five of their last six competitive matches ending in a low-scoring affair, our prediction is for under 2.5 goals.
Shrewsbury Town are in 18th place in the league table with 11 points. They have maintained a four-point cushion over the red dotted line and are three points behind tenth place.
Shrewsbury's most recent match was a 1-0 home league defeat to Exeter. That marked the second successive match in which they failed to score after losing 2-0 to Stockport County in the EFL Trophy.
Home advantage could be key to their success, having suffered just two defeats in their last five games (W2, D1). Three of those outings produced under 2.5 goals.
Bristol Rovers have made some significant progress in the standings. With 15 points from ten games, they are in ninth place and are three points behind the top three.
However, their recent league performance has been unreliable. They have suffered back-to-back 3-1 defeats against Crewe and Barnet.
To add insult to injury, they have won just one of their last six matches across all competitions (L5). Their away league form has been poor, with three consecutive losses.

Our Shrewsbury Town vs Bristol Rovers Prediction
Shrewsbury Town have not been that sharp in the final third this season, and that has been their undoing in League Two. They boast the joint fourth-worst offensive record in the league with nine goals scored.
Bristol Rovers could pose a challenge at home, with the side winless in their last three matches and failing to find the net in any of them. Given that the visitors have seen four of their last five trips to the Croud Meadow end with under 2.5 goals, we anticipate another low-scoring affair. Our Shrewsbury Town vs Bristol Rovers prediction: under 2.5 goals.
