Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Burton Albion will be aiming to put an end to their six-game winless run in all competitions when they face Peterborough on Wednesday afternoon. The Brewers do not seem to be at the top of their game and they face yet another uphill task against the Posh. As first-team regular Terence Vancooten misses the midweek clash through suspension, home win should not be considered.
Peterborough, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing run in the League One. Considering that both sides will go for a win in the Pirelli Stadium clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Talented defender Harley Mills is banned for the visiting team, while Ireland forward Cian Hayes is widely expected to return to the starting XI. You should know that 16 goals in total have been netted in the previous four meetings between the two sides.
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.
