Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following a 1-0 loss to Lincoln, Burton Albion will look to return to winning ways when they take on Cheltenham Town on Matchday 18. The Brewers have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Charlton, sharing the spoils with Cambridge United, while losing to Lincoln. Jasper Moon suffered an injury in the last league match, with Mustapha Carayol likely to step up.
Darrell Clarke’s troops, on the other hand, extended their losing run to three games at the weekend, with the team suffering a 3-1 loss to Wycombe on home soil. Cheltenham are eager to escape the relegation zone and seeing that they will go for a victory as well, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. Matt Taylor is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match.
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.
