Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Peterborough, Burton will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Wrexham on Matchday 19. The Brewers proved their worth in the midweek clash, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to escape the relegation zone. Charlie Webster will serve the last of his three-game ban, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Dragons, on the other hand, defeated Barnsley thanks to Oliver Rathbone’s goal and a win over Burton could see them overtake Wycombe in top position. Wrexham, though, are on a four-game winless run on the road in all competitions, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on draw. Goalkeeper Callum Burton is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the midweek victory.
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.
