Burton Albion will look to build on their impressive 5-0 FA Cup win over Boreham Wood when they face Huddersfield on Matchday 27. Their League One form, though, remains a concern and that is the main reason why we predict a 2-1 away win. The Brewers sit in the relegation zone and have managed just 1.10 points per game overall, including 1.00 PPG at home. Defensively, Burton concede 1.75 goals per home match, while their clean-sheet rate at the Pirelli is only 25%. With both Goldwin-Malife and Webster doubtful, their back line could again be stretched. Burton also fail to score in 75% of home games, despite posting a respectable 1.50 expected goals at home.
Huddersfield arrive much more stable in the league, sitting 5th and taking 1.60 PPG overall. Their attack has been particularly strong, averaging 2.00 goals per game, backed by an excellent 1.49 expected goals. Although their away return of 1.00 PPG is mixed, they still score 1.40 goals per away match, while BTTS has landed in 80% of those fixtures. Defensively, they lack clean sheets away from home (0%), but overall concede just 1.00 goal per match.
H2H history is balanced (2-2-1), but Huddersfield hold the quality edge. As Burton unreliable at home, Away Win is our main betting pick for this League One matchup, alongside BTTS (Huddersfield 80% BTTS away; Burton improving) and Over 2.5 goals.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 17 January 2026 at 15:00.
