Shrewsbury Town Predicted Line-up: Toby Savin; Josh Feeney, Aristote Nsiala, Morgan Feeney; Mal Benning, Funso Ojo, Jordan Rossiter, Alex Gilliead; Leo Castledine; John Marquis, George Lloyd

Shrewsbury Town have been struggling this season. They currently sit in the highest possible relegation place on eight points from their first 11 games. That’s only two wins, two draws and seven losses.

Last time out they won away at Crawley Town for the first time ever, in an impressive 5-3 victory. However, Crawley seem to be one of the favourites to also make the drop this season, facing a side like Exeter right now is a whole other matter.

Against Crawley, it was John Marquis that stole the show with two goals and one assist. His striking partner George Lloyd also stole the show with two conversions.

Exeter City Predicted Line-up: Joe Whitworth; Johnly Yfeko, Jack Fitzwater, Pierce Sweeney; Ilmari Niskanen, Ryan Woods, Edward Albert Francis, Jack McMillan; Jack Aitchison, Millenic Alli; Joshua Magennis

Exeter have been playing very well in recent weeks. They took 10 points from a possible 12 in their last four games and look like one of the most dangerous sides in the division.

Their attack understandably gets a lot of credit. But their defensive structure is also up there with the best. They’ve only conceded six goals this season which is the second lowest, and conceded just 0.7 goals per 90 which puts them in second out of 24 teams for that metric.

In their most recent game and win at home to Cambridge United, Ryan Woods was the standout performer with a decisive goal.
