Prediction: 1-0
Cheltenham
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Stevenage, Burton Albion will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Cheltenham Town in a postponed League One game. The Brewers have regained a much-needed confidence, but they need to keep on producing fine displays in the season finale if they are to avoid relegation. John Brayford is a major doubt and the captain will be assessed ahead of the kick-off, with Mason Bennett being rated doubtful as well. Ryan Sweeney should return to contention after missing the last league fixture due to the personal reasons.
Darrell Clarke’s troops, meanwhile, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last four league matches and given their shaky defence, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous five meetings between Burton and Cheltenham.
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.
