Recent respective form guides

Wrexham's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. Dragons have conceded a disappointing 10 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 1 of their own chances.

The away form of Shrewsbury Tn. is pretty dire, attaining just 3 draws from the previous six away games. While the Shrews have hit 4 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Wrexham are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League Two with a return of just 9 points from their 12 games thus far. Shrewsbury Tn. see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 16 points from their 13 games played so far,
