Our prediction: 3-1
It's a battle between two teams at the wrong end of the League One table and victory is much-needed for both sides today as they hover just above the relegation zone.
A 1-0 win over Wigan Athletic on Tuesday evening saw the Robins leapfrog out the relegation zone, now sitting just one point above the bottom four.
Shrewsbury lost at home too Crewe on Tuesday but remain four points above relegation and three points above Swindon in the league standings.
Shrewsbury Town
Manager Steve Cotterill remains sidelined due to COVID complications with Sam Ricketts remaining in charge of duties at Shrewsbury.
Deadline day signing Curtis Main makes his debut whilst star striker Aaron Pierre is out due to injury.
