Shrewsbury Town vs Leicester City Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Pre-season friendlies 2024

Both sides are coming into this game on the back of a winning run.

Gearing up for their 10th straight season of League One football, Shrewsbury Town will aim to make it third time lucky in terms of pre-season friendlies, having only earned one draw and one defeat from their opening two pre-season battles thus far. In the first match against Brackley Town, Shrewsbury played out a 1-1 draw and in the second fixture Town lost 2-0 to Birmingham City. Hurt’s men are just one loss away from a streak of 10 winless games in competitive and friendly matches combined.

Leicester City will look to make it two in two in pre-season when they face Shrewsbury Town at New Meadow. Steve Cooper got off to a winning start in the Foxes chair with a 2-1 victory over Villareal, with a few weeks remaining before Leicester start their Premier League quest.

Cooper’s squad have now returned to British shores for meetings with Shrewsbury Town. Leicester are easily the favourite side to win this fixture but Cooper will look to give chances to other players in this game.

Players to Watch

Taylor Perry (Shrewsbury Town)

Perry likes to have freedom in midfield and likes to roam around to create attacking chances for the team. He is a great ball technician, and his ball receptions are solid, taking good positive touches where possible to give him an advantage in one-on-one situations. He loves to drive and carry the ball at the defence, he likes to play short passes to attract the opposition and likes to dribble past them when defenders try to close him down. His movement inside the penalty box is really good and very easily he can create goal-scoring chances for the team.

Stephy Mavididi (Leicester City)

Mavididi is a physically strong player who can beat the opposition defenders with his pace and physicality. He is a versatile player who can play in various attacking positions and his athleticism allows him to cover entire ground and press relentlessly.

Mavididi can also manage his defensive duties. The 26-year-old possesses impressive link-up play and has very good tactical knowledge which helps him to adapt to the playing style of different managers. He is a decent dribbler as well and can create some really good chances for scoring the goal.
