Town host Chesterfield on Saturday with the aim being to push themselves back into the play-off places following the disappointing defeat to Bournemouth last time out.
Paul Simpson's men will be eagerly anticipating a fixture back at the Prostar Stadium, where they have picked up 34 out of their 46 points all season, the best home record in the league.
However if there is a side in the league who will fancy their chances at Fortress Prostar it will be Chesterfield, who have earned more points on their travels this season than at Saltergate.
Due to the recent bad weather around Britain at the moment, the Spireites haven't played since the end of last month, where they picked up another three points away from home, a 1-0 win against Notts County.
Before that, they also enjoyed a fruitful Christmas period, having picked up 11 points from their previous six games, and will pose a threat to Town on Saturday.
This form sees Lee Richardson's side occupy 12th in the League Two table, but they have up to three games in hand on some sides thanks to postponements.
This season's earlier meeting saw the two teams play out an entertaining 2-2 draw, with the home side recovering from being two goals down to pinch a point.
With only 72 hours before they're back in action when they entertain Chester City on Tuesday night, the Shrews face an important few days as they aim to get their promotion hopes back on track.
League Two's new leaders Brentford are in action on the week Port Vale visit Griffin Park, hoping to continue their great form this season, and try and maintain their slight advantage over Wycombe Wanderers, who face a tricky trip to Bradford on Saturday.
Peter Taylor's side are also back in action in midweek against Dagenham and Redbridge, and so could find themselves back on top in a week's time.
Bury travel to Grimsby as they look to keep in touch with the two leaders, and the league's most in-form side Rochdale play Macclesfield at Moss Rose.
Salop's closest rivals in the table Exeter and Darlington face Aldershot and Lincoln respectively on the weekend, and with plenty of midweek action to come, the next seven days could go a long way to determining who goes up to League One next season.
