Shrewsbury Town vs Wrexham Prediction and Betting Tips | January 7th 2024

Shrewsbury Town will host Wrexham at New Meadow on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 FA Cup campaign.

The home side kicked off their cup campaign against Colchester United back in November last year, picking up a 3-2 comeback win over the U's. They then locked horns with Notts County in the next round of the competition, once again winning 3-2 with striker Ryan Bowman scoring a brilliant hat-trick to help the Shrews advance to the third round.

Shrewsbury Town were knocked out at this stage of the competition last season after losing 2-1 to Sunderland and will hope they can find better luck this time around.

Wrexham, meanwhile, beat Mansfield Town 2-1 in their cup opener, with Sam Dalby and Paul Mullin getting on the scoresheet before their opponents scored a second-half consolation goal. They then picked up a comfortable 3-0 home victory over Yeovil Town in the next round, with Dalby once again netting for the Red Dragons.
