Our Shrewsbury Town vs Gillingham predictions for today’s 3pm (UK time) kick-off back Over 9.5 total corners at 11/10 (Betfred), with our score prediction Shrewsbury Town 2-1 Gillingham. Shrewsbury Town welcome Gillingham to the Croud Meadow at 3.00pm on Saturday (UK time), with two mid-table sides who have both struggled to keep clean sheets this season.
Our Shrewsbury Town vs Gillingham predictions and betting tips centre on a League Two contest that should bring goals, with just a point separating two leaky defences. Shrewsbury sit 10th on 18 points and Gillingham 12th on 17, so the reward for a win is a healthy climb up a congested table.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has studied the Croud Meadow meeting and picked out two selections that lean into the goals both defences keep conceding.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Over 9.5 total corners | 11/10 (Betfred) | Shrewsbury Town have been the busier side for set-pieces at home and are strong favourites to win the corner count, with the market pricing them at 8/15 to do so. Both teams like to get the ball wide and into the box, Gillingham in particular carrying a threat on their travels with 10 away goals, and games between two attack-minded sides who both concede tend to produce plenty of corners at either end. With Shrewsbury chasing the game from the front at home and Gillingham happy to counter, 11/10 for 10 or more flag-kicks appeals. |
| Shrewsbury Town and both teams to score | 10/3 (bet365) | The hosts are rightful favourites at the Croud Meadow but their leaky defence means a clean sheet is far from guaranteed. Shrewsbury Town have conceded 20 times this season, six of them at home, and Gillingham have scored in plenty of their away trips, racking up 10 goals on the road. A home win that still sees the Gills get on the scoresheet therefore looks a smart addition, and at 10/3 the combination pays far more than the straight home win. |

How Shrewsbury Town go into the game
Shrewsbury Town go into the weekend 10th on 18 points, with three wins from their last five games. Their most recent outing was a 3-3 draw away at Rotherham, which came on the back of successive victories at Crawley and at home to Bristol Rovers.
Home form has been solid rather than spectacular, with three wins, one draw and two defeats at the Croud Meadow, where they have scored seven and conceded six. A tally of 20 league goals conceded this season, though, shows the back line can be got at.
How Gillingham go into the game
Gillingham arrive 12th on 17 points, having been beaten 4-1 at home by Grimsby Town last time out. The Gills have blown hot and cold all season, with four wins, five draws and four defeats, and will want a quick response after that heavy reverse.
On the road they have been a threat, winning two of six away games and scoring 10 goals in the process, though they have also conceded nine. A side that both scores and concedes away from home fits the goals theme here.

There has rarely been much between these sides, with three of the last five league meetings ending level. Gillingham edged the most recent encounter 1-0 at Priestfield last season, while Shrewsbury Town’s previous home meeting with the Gills finished in a 3-3 thriller.
