Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following a goalless draw with Crawley Town, Burton Albion will be aiming to return to winning ways in the League One when they face Shrewsbury Town on Matchday 15. The Brewers are running down a blind alley, losing seven of their last eight league matches and they face yet another difficult task against Shrewsbury. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
The Shrews, on the other hand, are on a four-game losing run in all competitions. As a result, managed Paul Hurst go fired, with the club still searching for his replacement. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as both Burton Albion and Shrewsbury Town will go for a win in Saturday’s encounter. Arsenal loanee Charles Sagoe Jr limped off with injury in the last game, with Alex Gilliead being ready to step up.
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.
