Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-2
Plymouth
Pirelli Stadium will host Saturday’s League One game between Burton Albion and Plymouth, the two bottom-table teams. Burton are stuck in the ultimate position with only five points on their account, but their performances seem to be much better than the results. Midfielder John Joshua McKiernan is rated doubtful for the home side after picking up a knock in a goalless draw with Jack Armer being ready to sneak into the starting XI.
The Pilgrims, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs in the English third tier of late, with the team beating both Stockport County and Luton Town, while losing to Cardiff City and Peterborough United. As both Plymouth and Burton will go for a win in Saturday’s showdown, we are tempted to bet on both teams to score. Teenage midfielder Tegan Finn is pushing for his first start of the season after scoring two goals and recording two assists in the EFL Trophy triumph (6-2) over Tottenham U21.
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.
