Burton Albion form and stats

Last season, Burton Albion's league results were 14 wins, 11 draws and 21 losses, producing 16th place in the League One. From these 46 matches they scored 51 goals and conceded 67. Appearing as the home side in the former season Burton Albion produced 10-6-7 (win-draw-lost) with 34 goals and 26 conceded.

Burton Albion are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Wycombe Wanderers. The game against Wycombe Wanderers was basically lost in the first half (0-3) and the second half was more of a formality. Keillor-Dunn (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.12/10. Keillor-Dunn hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 25 successful passes (of 30 total).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Wycombe Wanderers (1-2).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Burton Albion have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 10 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 3 and lost 5.

There will be little rest for Burton Albion after this match as they are travelling to Rochdale for a Carabao Cup game in only three days.

Bristol Rovers form and stats

Let's have a look at how Bristol Rovers performed last season in the League Two: They landed a 3rd position in the league table after playing out 23 victories, 11 draws and 12 defeats. In total they scored 71 and conceded 49 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 9 - drew 7 and lost 7 with 33/29 goals scored/conceded.

Bristol Rovers might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Forest Green Rovers proved too strong as Bristol slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Memorial Stadium. It's worrying for Bristol Rovers that their goalie Belshaw pulled off six saves in the Forest Green Rovers game, but still could not hinder a defeat. Anderson got a match rating of 7.42 in that game, top player of the team. Anderson dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

Before that, Bristol Rovers secured a home win against Scunthorpe United with the score 7-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bristol playing away and similar expectations, we found 12 relevant matches. Results were 6 Bristol Rovers wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Carabao Cup trip to Crawley Town.
