Goal Statistics

Scoring more than 1 goal looks set to be difficult for Shrewsbury Town, with Paul Hurst's men having not found the back of the net in 4 consecutive League One outings.

Birmingham City's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday lunch time, not least because Shrewsbury Town have conceded in each of their last 11 League One outings. A PG of 1.6 for C. Davies's side suggests that run should continue.
