Shrewsbury are playing their tenth consecutive season in League One, where they were almost exclusively in the lower part of the league's table. Last season, they avoided relegation by only four points, and this season doesn't look promising either. The Shrews are currently in the relegation zone, as they only won eight points in 11 games. Right now, they are on a level with Northampton, which are in the safe zone, but The Shrews played two games more. So, they are under pressure to win some points, and considering they are undefeated in the last two (League One) games, there are some reasons to be optimistic about.
Exeter returned to League One in 2022/23 after ten years spent in League Two. In the previous two seasons, The Grecians finished 13th and 14 and are looking even better this year. Right now, they are in 7th place with 16 points, on a level with 6th placed Stockport, who are in the Playoffs. Their goal for this season has to be to reach the Playoffs, and if they continue to play as they did in the first part of the season, that goal doesn't look impossible.
Shrewsbury vs Exeter pick: Exeter to (AH 0) win
Shrewsbury stopped their seven-game winless streak with a win over Crawley 5:3. However, that win looks a lot better than it actually is. The main reason for that win was Crawley's red card in the 56th minute. Before that red card, Crawley had 63% ball possession and had the double amount of goal attempts.
On the other hand, Exeter won four out of the last five and six out of the previous eight matches in all competitions. Their defense is looking sharp, and they are on an incredible streak, as The Grecians kept a clean sheet in the last five games!
In the previous h2h game, Exeter won 3:0 at The Croud Meadow. Considering the last game h2h and the difference in form, we believe that Exeter are closer to winning the upcoming League One game.

Shrewsbury team news
After a 5:3 win against Crawley, coach Paul Hurst spoke to the media. He was delighted with a win and singled out his striker, George Lloyd. The coach said Lloyd was working hard, and even though he didn't have the best game, he managed to score twice. Before those two goals, the 24-year-old Lloyd only scored once in ten League One appearances.

Midfielder Caleb Watts received a straight red card in the Leyton Orient game and will serve second of his three-game ban against Shrewsbury. Additionally, Patrick Jones and Yanic Wildschut should remain sidelined with their injuries.
