Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following four consecutive draws in the League One, Burton Albion will look to return to winning ways in League One when they take on Barnsley on Saturday afternoon. The Brewers are determined to record their first win of the season and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Tykes on Matchday 6. A man to watch in the home team will be Danilo Orsi-Dadomo, who opened his goal-scoring account in a 2-2 draw with Rotherham United at the weekend.
The visitors, on the other hand, have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth. Barnsley aim to recover from a heavy EFL Cup loss to Manchester United (0-7) and seeing that first-team regulars return to the starting XI, away win should be considered. In their last meeting at Pirelli Stadium Barnsley defeated Burton Albion 3-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
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.
