South Shields will make their debut in the FA Cup competition proper as they face Shrewsbury Town in the first round of the 2025-26 tournament. This match on Sunday in Jarrow between the Mariners and the Shrews comes with our prediction of BTTS.
South Shields started in the second qualifying round this year and defeated Guiseley (2-1), Chorley (4-1), and Spalding United (4-0) to advance to the first round of the competition proper. Shrewsbury will be playing their first match of this year’s competition here.
A 1-0 away loss to Macclesfield ended a seven-game winning run for South Shields. Despite that hiccup, the hosts are still leading the National League North and will hope to get back to winning ways here.
Playing at home could suit their game, as South Shields have won seven games in a row at this venue, scoring 18 goals in aggregate in that sequence.
After being relegated to League Two, Shrewsbury had an indifferent start to their season. They had just three wins from the first 14 games of the league campaign (W3, D4, L7), throwing into question their chances of survival in this division, let alone promotion.
Recent form is slightly better, though, with a four-game unbeaten sequence (W2, D2) giving hope of getting into the second round of this competition, something they failed to do last year.

Our South Shields vs Shrewsbury Town Prediction
Having arrived through the qualifying rounds, South Shields have already matched their best-ever run by reaching the competition proper, but they wouldn’t want it to end here. They are leading the National League North, although a loss last week has trimmed their advantage. Their scoring record could give them confidence in facing fourth-division side Shrewsbury Town.
The visitors crashed out of the first round last year and are aiming for improvements this time out. Goals are expected here, and our South Shields vs Shrewsbury Town prediction is BTTS.
