At the same time, Shrewsbury changed managers at the start of the week after losing 6 of their last 7 matches. The returning for his second stint Paul Hurst will make his debut now.
Goalscorer anytime prediction: Sam Hoskins to score anytime
Northampton’s star striker Sam Hoskins (14 goals in 25 league appearances) has scored in exactly 50% of his team’s home matches this season. Hoskins is red-hot right now and he has scored in 4 of Northampton’s last 5 home league games. This is why with our first Northampton vs Shrewsbury prediction we back him to find the back of the net again.
