Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Burton and Exeter take on each other at Pirelli Stadium in an eagerly-awaited League One game. The Brewers are stuck in the relegation zone with only 12 points on their account, btu Saturday’s clash could be the turning point for the home side in their battle for survival. Even though there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, talented midfielder Charlie Webster could sneak into the starting XI.
The Grecians, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last five league matches. As Burton are desperate to escape the relegation zone, we predict that Exeter are going to return home with their hands empty. The good news for the visiting side is that Vincent Harper has overcome his minor injury. In their last meeting at the venue Exeter defeated Burton, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
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.
