Prediction: 1-1
Lincoln
Pirelli Stadium will be the centre of attention when Burton Albion and Lincoln City square off against each other in the opening match of the season. The Brewers were having their ups and downs in preseason, with the team beating Port Vale, losing to Belper Town, while sharing the spoils with Morecambe. Burton face a difficult task in Saturday’s encounter, but one thing is for sure, they will leave their hearts on the field. Summer signing Terence Vancooten (centre-back) is widely expected to make his Burton debut against Lincoln.
The Imps, on the other hand, defeated the likes of Preston, Harrogate, and Arsenal U21 in warm-up games, while sharing the spoils with Oldham Town. Anyhow, a low-scoring affair is on the cards at Pirelli Stadium as under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous three meetings between the two sides in the English third tier.
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.
