Week 19 features a match on Sat Nov 19th, where Sheffield Wednesday and Shrewsbury Town will play a match in Sheffield in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched League One teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 6 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. In their last match, 3rd placed Sheffield Wednesday, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Accrington Stanley. Alex Mighten scored the first goal for Sheffield Wednesday in the 24th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Accrington Stanley was frustrated by Sheffield Wednesday’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Sheffield Wednesday ended the match with the shutout victory. With 21 points in their last 10 matches Sheffield Wednesday should be reasonably happy with their performance, while 14th placed Shrewsbury Town is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Barnsley. Adam Phillips scored the first goal for Barnsley in the 10th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Shrewsbury Town was frustrated by Barnsley’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Barnsley ended the match with the shutout victory. Shrewsbury Town is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Shrewsbury Town won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Jordan Shipley has been the most effective weapon for Shrewsbury Town lately. The English midfielder has netted two goals in his last 5 matches. Both Michael Smith and Alex Mighten have been the hottest scorers for Sheffield Wednesday in the last five each having scored 2 goals.
