Match Facts

  • This will be the first league meeting between Shrewsbury Town and Birmingham City since April 1995, when the Shrews were defeated 2-0.  

  • After failing to win any of their 14 league games against Shrewsbury Town between 1980 and 1991 (D5 L9 whilst netting just three goals in total, Birmingham City have since won each of their last three such matches against the Shrews without conceding.

  • Shrewsbury have picked up fewer points at home in League One this season than any other side (4), losing five of their seven such games. Indeed, since 2019-20, six of the seven clubs to lose five or more of their opening seven home games of a campaign in the division went on to be relegated, the only exception being Burton Albion in 2022-23.

  • Birmingham City have lost the fewest games (1) of any side in League One this season. Only in 1900-01 (0), 1990-91 (1), 1991-92 (1), and 2008-09 (1) have the Blues ever had as few or fewer defeats at this stage of a Football League campaign.
