Prediction: 1-1
Oxford United
Pirelli Stadium will host Saturday’s League One game between Burton Albion and Oxford United, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the remainder of the season. The Brewers are desperate to secure the League One survival, while Oxford United aim to stay in the playoffs race as longer as possible. Both Winnall and Carayol are pushing for a start as Burton boss Dino Maamria should opt to make changes to the team that suffered a massive 4-0 loss to Shrewsbury Town.
Meanwhile, the Yellows aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Wycombe, but despite the defeat, they are still sitting in the top half of the table. Since the visitors are eager to return to winning ways as well, both teams to score seems like a value bet. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
Highlighted Player (Sam Winnall):
Sam Winnall began his professional career at the age of 19. The striker, who was born on 19 January, 1991, made his Wolverhampton debut in May 2009 and he has been playing for a number of English clubs ever since.
He was on loan at Burton Albion, Hereford United, Inverness CT and Shrewsbury Town and in the 2013/2014 campaign he signed a contract with Scunthorpe United. Sam Winnall scored 23 goals in 45 appearances for the club and, as a result, secured a lucrative move to Barnsley in 2014. He went on to score his first goal for Barnsley on 23 August 2014 in a 4-1 win over Gillingham.
Winnall helped Barnsley eliminate Walsall in the 2015/2016 League One semis as he scored a brace in the first leg. It has to be noted that he scored 23 goals in the English second tier in the 2015/2016 season. He provided 8 assists for his teammates during the season and he finished the campaign as the third highest goalscorer in the league, just behind Nicky Ajose and Will Grigg.
Highlighted Team (Oxford United):
Oxford United are one of the oldest clubs in the League One as they were founded back in 1893. However, Oxford United adopted their current name 67 years later and have been playing under it ever since.
Over the years the Yellows have built a great rivalry with Swindon Town and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two sides. Oxford United play home matches at Kassam Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 12,500. The stadium was built in 1997 and has been Oxford United’s home ground ever since. The Boys from Up the Hill are well known for their yellow and blue colours, but they play their away games in dark blue (with a little yellow) or black kits.
Oxford’s player with the most league appearances is John Shuker, playing 478 games for the club from 1962 to 1977. On the other hand, Jim Magilton is the club’s most capped player in internationals, playing 18 games for Northern Ireland.
