On the 10th of February in League 1, England's third-tier division, at the "Pride Park" stadium, "Derby" will play against "Shrewsbury". Let's take a look at the state of the teams and try to make a decision to increase our bank.

"Derby County"

The well-known "Derby County" has had some rough times in recent years. Last year, "The Rams" played quite well but faltered in the latter stages of the season, missing out on the Championship play-off return by 1 point.

In the 26th round, they beat "Burton Albion" (3:2). The following round resulted in a goalless draw with "Lincoln". They then suffered a narrow defeat to "Reading", followed by a victory over "Cheltenham" with a score of (2:1). In their last game, they managed to secure an away victory over "Charlton" with a minimal score.

"Shrewsbury Town"

The team has been in the third league for quite a long time, typically occupying positions from 16th to 18th. The exception was the 2017/2018 season when they climbed to 3rd place and reached the play-off for a chance to play in the Championship. However, they lost the final game to Rotherham (1:2) in overtime. "Shrewsbury" is currently in 17th place with 33 points.

After beating "Fleetwood" (3:1) they lost to "Stevenage" by a minimal score. The next round saw the team lose again, this time to "Peterborough" (1:2). They then secured a victory over "Northampton" (2:0). In the last round, the squad lost to "Cambridge" (1:2).

Head-to-Head

The last face-to-face clash between "Derby" and "Shrewsbury" took place on October 21, 2023. That meeting ended with a minimal victory for "The Shrews".

Prediction

In this match-up, I would suggest betting on a victory for the hosts with a (-1) handicap. "Derby" looks great in recent games, despite their loss to "Reading" 3 rounds ago. "Shrewsbury" is currently on a downfall, suffering losses in almost every game.

Over/Under Prediction

I believe the teams will put on a high-scoring display of football, so my suggestion here is to bet on a total of over 2.5.
