Luton
Burton Albion will be aiming to put an end to their poor run when they take on Luton Town at Pirelli Stadium. The Brewers are still eyeing their first league win of the season, and following their EFL Cup elimination at the hands of Lincoln City, confidence in the squad is at a low point. Head coach Mark Robinson faces additional problems ahead of Saturday’s clash as Sam Hughes, Luther James-Vancooten, and Joe Hazlehurst are all sidelined through injury.
Luton, on the other hand, are regarded as one of the main favourites for promotion back to the Premier League. The Hatters have looked sharp in the early rounds, showing both attacking potential and defensive stability. Even though the likes of Ryan Giles, Teden Mengi, Hakeem Odoffin, Reece Walters, and Tom Lockyer remain on the injury list, Rob Edwards’ side have enough quality in depth to cope without them. With Burton struggling for form and lacking confidence, anything but an away win would be a surprise.
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.
