Burton Albion form and stats

The story so far in the League One for Burton Albion at their home stadium (Pirelli Stadium) is 4 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats.

A strong away win for Burton Albion against Fleetwood Town the last match, as Kirk, Oshilaja and Hamer were on target. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Maamria when Kirk scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 82nd minute. Midfield player Hamer got a match rating of 7.6 in that game, the max score being 10. Hamer scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Before that, Burton had a home game versus Oxford United which ended with a victory 2-0.

The manager Maamria will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Portsmouth in only three days.

The Burton Albion fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 14 matches. Burton Albion have conceded 23 from these games.
