16:00
Prediction: 2-0
Burton
Having defeated Barnsley on Tuesday evening, Stevenage will look to move closer to the playoffs berth when they take on Burton Albion on Matchday 44. The Boro did well to put an end to their eight-game winless run, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they face yet another must-win situation against the Brewers. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Burton Albion, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing four of their last five league matches. As Stevenage produced a fine display in the midweek triumph, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. The likes of Scott, Kamwa, and Carayol are pushing for recalls to the starting XI as Martin Paterson is expected to make changes to the team that failed to impress in the 4-0 loss to Oxford United.
Highlighted Player (Jake Taylor):
Jake Taylor is a product of the Reading football academy who plays for Exeter City in the League Two. Taylor spent his youth career at Reading, and he continued wearing the blue and white shirt at senior level.
After scoring two goals in 31 appearances with the Royals in the league, the English footballer spent several seasons on loan at the likes of Aldershot Town, Exeter City, Cheltenham Town, Crawley Town, Leyton Orient, and Motherwell. In 2016 Jake Taylor returned to Exeter City, signing a permanent deal with the St James Park outfit.
Despite being born in Ascot, England, on December 1, 1991, Taylor represents Wales on the international stage. He has ten caps with the Wales U21 team, and he made his debut with the Dragons at the senior level in a 2-1 win over Cyprus on October 13, 2014. His primary position is central midfielder.
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.
