Prediction: 0-1
Barnsley
After failing to win the previous eight league matches, Burton Albion will be aiming to escape the danger zone when they take on Barnsley in the League One round 42. The Brewers have suffered four defeats in the previous five league matches and they face yet another difficult task against the promotion-chasing Tykes. Jasper Moon has overcome a long-term injury, while there are no fresh selection worries in the home team.
Barnsley, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Cambridge United, but despite the defeat they are still sitting in the playoffs berth. As the Tykes are on a three-game winning run on the road, we predict that they are going to pick up all three points from Monday’s encounter. Matthew Wolfe remains on the sidelines with a knee injury, but the 23-year-old should be the only absentee 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.
