Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Burton and Portsmouth go head to head at Pirelli Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Tuesday’s program. The Brewers experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Peterborough and given their poor winless run, home win should not be considered. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, both Walker and Baah could sneak into the starting XI.
The Pompey, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 4-0 loss to Blackpool and we predict that they will take advantage of Burton’s shaky defence. Keep in mind, though, that Wales midfielder Joe Morrell is banned for the match following his sending-off in the defeat to the Seasiders. As always, Colby Bishop, who has netted ten goals so far this term, will lead the line for the visiting side.
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.
