Against All Odds: Shrews not for taming at Yeovil

 

Shrewsbury travel to Yeovil for a League One clash this afternoon and while they appear to have been written off by the Betfair market, Paul Robinson thinks they can pick up a positive result.

 

Yeovil are pushing for promotion to the Championship and their cause was aided last week as they recorded their first win in six to climb back into the play-off places. They had just started to wobble after their run of eight straight victories had come to an end at Doncaster towards the end of February.

 

The Glovers had then gone eight with just one win before Monday, and while they'd only lost two of those games, we'd happily take a draw today. Gary Johnson's side haven't won at Huish Park in their last three attempts though - drawing with Crawley and Walsall, and losing to Swindon.

 

Shrewsbury have picked up eight points from a possible 12 to ease their relegation worries in recent weeks. They are now up to 17th and seven points clear of Scunthorpe who currently top the relegation zone.

 

Graham Turner's men hammered Crawley last time out with Tom Eaves netting a hat trick - taking his tally to six goals for the club since his loan move from Bolton. Their form on the road is quite impressive for a team in the bottom half of the division - two defeats in 11, with three victories from their last half dozen.

 

There may be 11 places between these two sides but Shrewsbury are arguably in the better form and playing away from home doesn't seem to inconvenience them. That's why with Yeovil trading around the 1.9 mark, I have to make them my lay of the day.
