• Competition: England League One
• Date: 18.11.2023
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET 
• Venue: Bloomfield Road (Blackpool)

Blackpool made an excellent prelude to important matches in League Two by defeating Morecambe in the EFL Trophy match. With that victory, they reached the whole group and it is very certain that they will continue the competition in the knockout phase. As for League Two, this season is slightly above average. Blackpool is in 8th place with 24 points, which is 3 points less than Barnsley, which is in the playoff zone. It still needs to be assessed whether this team has the quality for the top, and more will be known about it during the next month.

Shrewsbury won only 4 points less than their rivals but they are much closer to the bottom of the table. The difference between the danger zone and the playoff zone is only ten points, so the game is still open for almost all clubs. In the previous round, Shrewsbury ended a series of 3 defeats by beating Reading 3-2, and that triumph can mean a lot in terms of self-confidence before the next period.

Blackpool vs Shrewsbury pick: BLACKPOOL TO WIN

Blackpool enters this match with 4 wins in the previous 5 matches at home. Shrewsbury is one of the worst teams in the league when it comes to the away field. They took only 4 points in 8 matches played away from their stadium. By all accounts, Blackpool is a candidate for the playoffs and matches like this are especially important. Despite the fact that they have not beaten Shrewsbury in their last 6 home matches, we will make an exception here and go against tradition. The biggest reason is this season's form, but also motivation. Blackpool to win seems like the best bet.
