Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Pirelli Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Burton Albion and Fleetwood Town. The Brewers do not seem to be at their sharpest at the moment, with the team losing each of their last three league fixtures. Since Burton conceded no fewer than 11 goals in those encounters, home win should not be considered. Both Maddox and Kokolo are pushing for recalls, with duo Taylor – Oshilaja likely to drop to the bench.
The Cod Army, on the other hand, suffered a 3-1 loss to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, with the team extending their losing run to three matches. Fleetwood dropped to the danger zone, but it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Callum Johnson is back to contention after he was ineligible to face the Black Cats, while Jordan Rossiter remains in the recovery room.
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.
Highlighted Team (Fleetwood):
Known for their attacking style of play, Fleetwood Town are a professional football club based in Fletwood, Lancashire. The Fishermen play their home matches at Highbury Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 5,327 (2,672 seated), with the team wearing red and white shirts in home matches.
On the other hand, Fleetwood footballers are dressed in yellow when playing on the travels. The original club was founded back in 1908 under the name of Fleetwood FC and 69 years later they were re-established as Fleetwood Town F.C. In 1998 the club was renamed to Fleetwood Wanderers after the second reformation.
Legendary England footballer Joey Barton is considered one of the club’s most notable coaches. Barton, who was known for his incidents on the field, has been in charge since June 2, 2018. Neighbouring club Blackpool are regarded as one of Fleetwood’s main rivals. The Fishermen have built up rivalries with Morecambe and Preston North End as well.
