Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Monday’s football game between Burton Albion and Cambridge United will bring down the curtain on day 12 of the League One campaign. The Brewers have been producing fine displays of late, with the team beating Wigan 2-1 at home, while sharing the spoils with Reading on the road and they are surely capable of matching the Yellows at their Pirelli Stadium. Keep in mind, though, that DR Congo forward Beryly Lubala is banned for the match following his sending off in the midweek triumph.
Cambridge United, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form, with the team collecting only two points in total from the last four league matches. As the Yellows experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Barnsley, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. There are no fresh selection worries in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Burton):
Burton Albion are one of the four clubs that secure promotion to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 campaign. The Brewers welcome their rivals at Pirelli Stadium, the venue that was opened in 2005. The capacity of the stadium is 6,912, while the seating capacity of the venue is 2,034.
Burton Albion won the FA Trophy in 1987, with the team winning Football League Two in 2015. During the club’s non-League period, the Brewers’ local rivals were Nuneaton Borough, Tamworth, Stafford Rangers and Gresley Rovers, but while they were playing in the Football League the club’s rivals were Crewe, Port Vale, Notts County and Chesterfield.
Derby County are considered Burton Albion’s rivals as well, but the rivalry with the Rams is rather friendly. The colour of Burton Albion’s home kit is black and yellow, while they wear white and grey jerseys on the travels.
