Shrewsbury Town vs Walsall: match statistics

In their last five home matches, they have noted solid form with a preponderance of wins, and their average xG (1.37) in home games exceeds the opponents' xG (1.33), testifying to their offensive effectiveness. Walsall, on the other hand, is in dismal form, without a win in the last five matches and with a record of just 0.4 PPG in this period.
