REF’s picks

Shrewsbury Town come into this fixture in much steadier league form than Gillingham, who have leaked goals freely in recent outings. Backing the hosts on home turf makes sense given their ability to grind out results against lower-half opposition. However, Gillingham's attacking moments mean the home side will need to stay sharp for the full ninety minutes.

1. 1Shrewsbury have secured three wins from their last five matches across all competitions.
2. 2Gillingham have struggled defensively on the road, conceding heavily in recent weeks.
3. 3Gillingham's forward line can still pose a threat if allowed space to counter-attack.
