Season ticket holders at Pirelli Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Burton Albion languishing in the 22nd position so far. The guesting Crewe Alexandra will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Burton Albion has the fewest clean sheets (0) in League One
- Crewe Alexandra has the most matches under the total-line (11) in League One
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Burton and Crewe Alexandra.
Burton Albion form and stats
Burton Albion's struggle is real here at Pirelli Stadium with only 7 points collected from 7 League One games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-4.
The home team returns to Pirelli Stadium after being equal after 90 minutes with Sunderland (placed 7th) on their last time out; the League One game ended 1-1. Ahead of that match, Burton won a home game hosting Charlton Athletic (4-2).
The Burton Albion fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 11 goals in 7 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Burton with 14 goals conceded in these matches.
Crewe Alexandra form and stats
Crewe Alexandra have only collected 6 points from their away games in the League One, after 2-0-5 (7 played). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Alexandra are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Alexandra go into this game after a win, the home game against Swindon Town that ended 4-2. It was a FA Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Cheltenham Town (after extra-time) wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
Alexandra can call themselves comeback kings after the match against Swindon Town. Buried deep in trouble at 0-2, the troops rallied and completely turned the match around to a 4-2 victory. Owen Dale scored the final goal. As you can tell from the result, the match against Swindon Town was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
The schedule is very tough for Alexandra now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A EFL Trophy game at Hull City is waiting in only three days.
The attacking power of Alexandra when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. As opposed to that, Alexandra have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Burton, three draws and four wins for Crewe Alexandra. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
