Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Portsmouth will look to put an end to their three-game losing run when they take on Burton in the League One round 32. The Pompey have been slipping down the standings week by week, with Oxford United ruining their League One playoffs hopes. Portsmouth are low on spirits ahead of Tuesday’s clash, and we do not believe that home win should be considered. Joe Morrell is banned for the match, while Shaun Williams misses out with injury.
Paul Downing faces race against clock to be fit for the midweek game. The Brewers, on the other hand, suffered a 2-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday in their last league match. Burton are eager to return to winning ways as well, and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink should have a full squad to choose from.
Highlighted Player (Ellis Harrison):
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.
