Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Sunderland
Match Time & Date:

02:00 PM
Prediction: 1-1
Burton
Sunderland will be looking to put an end to their three-game winless run in the League One when they host Burton Albion at their Stadium of Light on Matchday 15. The Black Cats aim to climb to the League One playoffs berth, and, no doubt, Tuesday’s clash could be the turning point for the promotion-chasing side. Phil Parkinson is no longer in charge of the team, and, no doubt, the new manager will help the Black Cats regain a much-needed confidence.
Burton, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Charlton, and they managed to get one in style. The Brewers are desperate to escape the relegation zone, and given the current atmosphere in the home team’s dressing room, we predict that the visitors are going to grab something from the match. In their last meeting at the Stadium of Light Burton recorded a 2-1 win over Sunderland.
Highlighted Player (Will Grigg):
Wighan Athletic striker Will Grigg became a viral sensation during the European Championship in France but the chances are any avid football fan will have been well aware of his goalscoring exploits even before 2016. The 27-year-old forward began his career at Stratford Town but it was in Walsall that the world took notice of his presence after 27 goals in 99 performances for the club.
He first came to prominence during the 2012/13 season when he was voted the club’s Player of the Season and Players’ Player of the Season, but a loan spell at Milton Keynes Dons during his rather unfortunate two-year spell over at Brentford proved crucial for his career.
The total of 20 goals in 44 appearances at Stadium MK was where Wigan Athletic noticed the Northern Ireland man and moved in to sign him on a three year contract for a £1 million fee in 2015. ‘Will Grigg’s on Fire’ was the hit song of the Euro 2016 even though the Northern Ireland striker ended up not getting a chance to make a bow in the tournament.
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.
