Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Pirelli Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Burton Albion and Hull City. The Brewers aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Ipswich Town, and given their current position in the standings, this has to go down as somewhat of a must-win game for the rock-bottom side. Midfielder John Joe O’Toole, who suffered an injury in the defeat to the Tractor Boys, is unlikely to feature against Hull City.
The Tigers, on the other hand, aim to retain top position in the standings. Hull City are determined to secure automatic promotion to the Championship, and seeing that Burton suffered six defeats in the previous seven league fixtures, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the league leaders. When the two teams met at KCOM Stadium earlier in the process Hull City recorded a routine 2-0 win over Burton Albion.
Highlighted Player (Ryan Edwards):
Despite being born in Singapore on November 17, 1993, Ryan Edwards is eligible to represent Australia in international matches. The 175-cm-tall midfielder has 18 caps with Australia U-23 and it has to be noted that he played for the Socceroos at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Speaking of his club career, Edwards is a product of AIS, the high performance sports training institution from Australia, but in 2011 he was spotted by Reading scouts.
Ryan Edwards played for the Royals at senior level, making seven appearances for the club in the league. The Australian international whore Perth Glory (loan), St. Mirren (loan), Partick Thistle and Heart of Midlothian shirts as well before signing a deal with Burton Albion in 2019.
He made his debut with the Brewers in the League One on August 3, 2019 in a 1-0 loss to Ipswich Town. His main position is attacking midfielder, but he is capable of producing fine performances at both central and right midfield as well.
Highlighted Team (Hull City):
Hull City are a professional football club that was founded back in 1904. The Tigers used to play their home games at Boothferry Park, but they moved to the KC Stadium in 2002. The stadium capacity is 24,450.
Hull impressed in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and, as a result, they returned to the English Premier League. Hull City fans consider Leeds United their main rivals, but Sheffield United are regarded as Hull’s fierce rivals as well. Steve Bruce took over the reins at the club in 2012 and the experienced tactician helped the team book a place in the 2013/2014 FA Cup final, but Arsenal proved to be a big catch for the Tigers in the title decider.
Hull City finished the 2013/2014 Premier League campaign in 16th place in the standings to achieve their highest ever top flight finish. It has to be noted that Curtis Davies was named the team’s player of the year in the 2013/2014 season.
