We said: Shrewsbury Town 1-1 Bristol Rovers

Both sides have had very difficult fixtures in recent weeks, so it is perhaps unfair to be overly critical about their poor form, but they will have a point to prove on Monday, even if the game ultimately does not count for much. Given that very little separates the two teams in the table, however, we think the most likely result is a draw. Read more.
