Shrewsbury Town welcomes Huddersfield Town to the New Meadow in this intriguing League One match this weekend. Will our prediction back the home town Shrews to end the visitors unbeaten run, or will the Terriers continue their impressive 15-game unbeaten run?

Gareth Ainsworth's Shrewsbury Town started this game in 22nd place in the league table and on a run of one defeat in five, although three of those games have finished as a draw. In contrast, Huddersfield are fourth in the table, four points behind Wrexham and Wycombe, but with a game in hand on both.

One positive for the Shrews is that they are unbeaten in their last two at home. They beat Lincoln 1-0 on Boxing Day and followed that up with a 1-1 home draw with Northampton three days later. Their last two games have both been on the road, a 1-1 draw at Blackpool and a 1-0 defeat away to Leyton Orient.

Michael Duff has led his Huddersfield Town team on a run of 15 games without defeat after four straight losses before that. Goals have been sparse in their recent games, though, with a 1-0 win over Stockport at home on Boxing Day followed by two home draws, 1-1 with Burton Albion and then 0-0 with Rotherham. 

Their most recent game saw them beat second-placed Wycombe Wanderers impressively away from home 1-0.
