Our prediction for this League 1 match:
After holding Sunderland to a 1-1 draw, Burton will look to return to winning ways in the League One when they take on Shrewsbury Town on Saturday. The Brewers were on the verge of beating the Black Cats at Stadium of Light, but Ryan Brewster eventually scored a late equalizer for the hosts. Burton are stuck in the middle of the table, but they are surely capable of beating Shrewsbury, who suffered yet another dip in form.
Cameron Borthwick-Jackson has overcome his injury, meaning that Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink should have a full squad to choose from. The Shrews, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back losses to Plymouth (0-1) and Portsmouth (1-2), and they are unlikely to grab something from Saturday’s clash. Fornah is widely expected Davis in the starting XI, while midfielder Josh Vela misses out through suspension for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Lucas Akins):
After making his first football steps in Huddersfield Town youth academy, Lucas Akins made his first-team debut against Northampton Town as he came as a substitute to replace Luke Beckett. However, he made no more than five appearances for Huddersfield Town as he was sent on loan to Nortwich Victoria.
After spending two seasons at Hamilton Academical, the winger, who was born on 25 February 1989, joined Tranmere Rovers in July, 2010. Lucas Atkins scored 7 goals in 77 appearances for the club and in 2012 he signed a contract with Stevenage. The English footballer played 77 league games for the Boro and he scored 13 goals for the club.
During the 2013/2014 campaign he was on Burton Albion’s radar and at the end of the season he joined the Pirelli Stadium outfit. Lucas Atkins enjoys playing football, but dancing is considered his passion as well. His main position is right wing, but he plays as both centre forward and left winger as well.
