1st Prediction For Crawley Town v Shrewsbury Town: Over 2.5 goals – 1.85
Both sides have found scoring to be a challenge this season, with both managing to find the net just twice in the month of September. However, they have also struggled to defend and keep goals out of their own net. These two sides will be looking at each other believing they will be able to add to their goal tally.
2nd Prediction For Crawley Town v Shrewsbury Town: Crawley Town To Win – 2.04
Crawley Town have home advantage and will look to capitalise against a side without a point on the road this season. The home side will also be looking to impress new manager Rob Elliot as he makes his debut in the Broadfield Stadium dugout. Across the past six meetings between the two sides, the only positive results have come for the team playing at home.
3rd Prediction For Crawley Town v Shrewsbury Town: Both Teams To Score – 1.74
One of the bright spots in Crawley’s season has been 24-year-old attacker Junior Quitirna. The former Fleetwood Town player has scored three of his side’s five goals this season and his keen to take a shot on. Shrewsbury have had 25 goals in their matches so far, scoring eight and conceding 17. There will be plenty of opportunities for goals between these two sides.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Both Crawley and Shrewsbury head into this encounter on dismal runs of form and firmly in a relegation scrap despite the season still being so young. New manager Rob Elliot will be desperate for his Crawley side to make the most of home advantage in a match that both sides will have earmarked as a real chance to get some points on the board. The home side made a promising start to life in League One, winning their opening two league matches either side of a Carabao Cup victory. Since beating Cambridge United in the middle of August, the Red Devils have had to navigate a tough run of fixtures and the loss of their promotion winning manager, Scott Lindsey. They went down to Wycombe Wanderers in their most recent outing. The visitors head into this match firmly in the bottom four as they look set for another season of struggle in the third tier. Last season, Hurst’s men ended their campaign in dismal form and have started the season in the same vein. They did, however, gain an impressive point on the road at Bolton Wanderers last time out. You have to go all the way back to October 2011 for a Crawley victory in this fixture, a 2-1 triumph at Broadfield Stadium with Sergio Torres netting the opener. Shrewsbury have managed two wins from the last six games between the two sides, but you have to look back a decade to 2014 for the most recent encounter. That match ended in a draw, thanks to goals from Josh Simpson and Paul Parry.
