Friday’s clash at Pirelli Stadium sees Burton Albion looking to bounce back after a 1-0 defeat to Blackpool. As Burton have been producing fine displays at home of late, we predict a 1-0 home win. The Brewers been solid at home, picking up 1.80 points per game, scoring 1.40 goals per match while conceding only 0.80. Overall, they average 1.10 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game, keeping clean sheets in 30% of outings and seeing BTTS in 40% of matches. Their expected goals of 1.18 versus expected goals against of 1.10 indicates a fairly balanced performance this season. The Brewers will be without Delap, Jones, and Revan with injuries, but they are capable of filling the gap.
Barnsley, meanwhile, head into the match after a narrow 1-0 loss to Doncaster, with Chirewa and Earl unavailable. The Tykes have been inconsistent, winning 30% of their games and averaging 1.50 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per match. Conor Hourihane's men have yet to keep a clean sheet in their last ten games, while BTTS has occurred in 80% of their matches. Away form has been slightly better, with 1.33 points per game and 2.00 goals scored per match.
Betting tips:
Given Burton's promising home record and H2H advantage, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals as previous meetings have often been tight.
This League 1 match will be played on Friday 3 April 2026 at 15:00.
