Bromley vs Shrewsbury: Shrews set to send shockwaves through League Two

Bromley are closing in on promotion to the third tier of English football in what would be a remarkable achievement for a side that played in the EFL for the first time in the 2023-24 season. The Ravens have opened up a lead at the top of League Two and Andy Woodman’s just need to keep their cool for the final five fourth-tier matches of the season. Shrewsbury ended a four-game winless run when beating Tranmere 1-0 on Friday and Bromley’s promotion rivals will be fully behind the Shrews on Tuesday night.

Read on for my Bromley vs Shrewsbury predictions with the latest team news and match odds.

Woodman is boosted by a largely fully fit squad on Tuesday night. Michael Cheek hasn’t played since early March and is likely to miss out again.

Shrewsbury will be without defender Luca Hoole, who is set to miss a seventh consecutive League Two fixture with an ankle problem. Thomas Sang picked up a knock at Newport and could miss out again.

Football Odds 

Bromley vs Shrewsbury Odds 

Bromley are 7/10 to win on home turf, Shrewsbury are 4/1 and the draw is a 13/5 chance. Over 2.5 goals is available at 6/5 and both teams to score is 11/10.

Shrewsbury to win @ 9/2

A look at the League Two table would suggest Shrewsbury would struggle to win against league leaders Bromley on Tuesday night, but there is one huge factor at play and that is pressure.

Bromley are on the verge of promotion to League One, a huge achievement in its own right, but even more monumental when you consider it would be the first time in the Ravens’ history they have soared to third-tier heights.
Woodman’s men have been grabbing results throughout the season, but as the pressure and expectations build, there has been little wobble.

Bromley needed a 90+11 strike from George Evans to pick up a point in a 2-2 draw against a Barnet side reduced to ten men on Friday, and prior to that, the Ravens were beaten at Barrow.

The south Londoners were second best at Holker Street and Barrow are a side battling relegation.

Shrewsbury had confidence boosted by their win over Tranmere last time out and they were clearly the better side in that tie. At 4/1, there is enough in the price to chance Shrewsbury, with Bromley under maximum pressure.

Under 2.5 goals @ 8/13

If Shrewsbury are able to pull off a shock win, it’s likely to come in a low-scoring contest.

The Shrews have seen four of their last go games go under 2.5 goals and Gavin Cowan’s men are capable of digging in against a side expected to take three points.

Bromley have hit the net only 11 times in their 11 League Two games and the Ravens are not a side blasting their way to the third-tier table. Take under 2.5 goals as a potential saver.
