The visiting Hull City side should be favourites in this visit to Burton Albion, as the away team holds a 32 point advantage from their 25 league games this season.
- Burton Albion has the most conceded goals (51) in League One
- Hull City has the most scored goals (41) in League One
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the EFL Trophy.
Burton Albion form and stats
With 2 League One wins, 2 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Burton Albion, who have the most conceded goals (51) in League One, are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's been an uphill battle for Burton in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Crewe Alexandra game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
The Burton fans got no joy from their last match, a League One game also here at Pirelli Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Ipswich Town (placed 11th). A strong away win before that one, visiting Gillingham and winning 1-0.
The manager J. Hasselbaink will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Blackpool in only three days.
The Burton fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 12 matches. Burton Albion are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (28 from 12 played).
Hull City form and stats
Playing away, Hull City, who have the most scored goals (41) in League One, have won 7 games, drawn 2 and suffered 4 defeats in the League One this season.
There were no winners in Hull's previous match, a EFL Trophy home game that ended 1-1 vs Lincoln City (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) (placed 2nd). A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Swindon Town.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Lincoln City in just three days.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Hull are regular goalscorers on their travels. Hull have conceded 15 goals in these away matches.
