Accrington S. prepare to entertain Shrewsbury Town at Fraser Eagle Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 5 previous games, with the The Reds winning just 1.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Fraser Eagle Stadium was less than a year ago, in December 2007, with Shrewsbury Tn. inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the The Reds in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Accrington Stanley's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Reds have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Shrewsbury Tn.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. Those games have seen the Shrews pummel 13 goals, and let in 6.
Accrington S. find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 10 points from their 11 matches. Shrewsbury Tn. are holding the final promotion place in the Coca-Cola League Two, and have accumulated 21 points from the 11 games they have played so far.
