Charlton vs Shrewsbury tips and predictions

Charlton looking to extend run

With a handful of points between them, it's 16th placed Charlton welcoming 18th placed Shrewsbury in this League One clash as the home team looks to add to the 5 points that separate the sides.

The short price for the home side isn't huge value but their opponents are unlikely to have much joy.

Charlton will expose some of Shrewsbury's poorer stats. Losses have gradually been building up for this group of away players over their last 19 fixtures. They've been beaten 10 times in that period. They should prepare themselves for defeat again here.

Recently there's been a lot of positive commentary surronding the home side's defence. The strategies are working. They'll see this as an opportunity to keep a clean sheet; they have conceded no more than once in 9 of their last 11 games. While the hosts have been rolling with the punches, their opponents here have lacked resistance under pressure in recent times. Shrewsbury have conceded two or more goals in all of their last 3 assignments. On top of that, some parts of the attacking displays by the visitors have been short of quality. To illustrate, they've averaged just 0.8 goals in their last 19 matches.

This is not the first time they've locked horns. Charlton have won 3 of the last 4 fixtures between the two teams.

Charlton are decent favourites and it's possible they just don't give up any ground to Shrewsbury. It's not a strong view so it isn't one to get stuck into but the No BTTS bet is fair enough.
