Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Alexandra Stadium will host Saturday’s football match between Crewe Alexandra and Burton Albion. The Railwaymen aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Doncaster, but the game against the high-flying Brewers will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. Callum Ainley should be the only absentee in the home team in Saturday’s clash. Burton, on the other hand, are on a five-game winning run in the League One.
The Brewers did well to beat AFC Wimbledon on the road on Tuesday evening, and they are surely capable of matching Crewe at Alexandra Stadium. A close encounter is on the horizon, and we believe that punters can find value in betting on draw. Burton boss and former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has no fresh injury worries ahead of the trip to Chesire.
Highlighted Player (Donervon Daniels):
Donervon Daniels is a 186-cm-tall defender who plays for Wigan Athletic. He was born in Montserrat on 24 November, 1993 and he is a product of WBA football academy. After spending several seasons on loan at Tranmere Rovers, Gillingham, Blackpool and Aberdeen, Daniels signed for Wigan Athletic on a three-year-contract on June, 2015 and he netted his first goal for the Latics against Scunthorpe United two months later.
He made 33 appearances for Wigan in the 2015/2016 League One campaign and no doubt he helped the club secure promotion to the Championship. His main position is centre back, but he is capable of playing at right back as well. His highest market value was €250 000 on May 30, 2016.
Daniels has contract with Wigan Athletic which expires on 30 June, 2018. It has to be noted that that he was awarded WBA Young Player of the Year for the 2011/2012 season. Donvervon Daniels is a right-footed player.
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.
