Burton Albion form and stats

6 victories, 3 draws and 11 defeats. That’s what Burton Albion have to build on here at Pirelli Stadium in the League One.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Plymouth Argyle in the League One last time out and are looking for a win here. In the game before, an away victory match versus Doncaster Rovers with a 3-0 scoreline.

Ryan Broom was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Plymouth Argyle after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

The manager J. Hasselbaink will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Wigan Athletic in only four days.

Burton are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 26 goals in 20 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Burton defense is not exactly impregnable. 38 goals conceded from 20 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Lincoln City form and stats

Lincoln City's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Lincoln City collect 38 points from their 19 away matches in the League One. 11 victories and 5 draws have created these points (and only 3 defeats).

222 minutes! That's how long the Lincoln goalkeeper Alex Palmer and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

It's the second away game in a row for Lincoln, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Bristol Rovers (placed 23rd) in the League One last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 4-0 vs Milton Keynes Dons.

A quick return to home after this game, as Lincoln are hosting Hull City in the League One only four days away.

Lincoln City are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 28 away goals from 19 games (in the league). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (14 so far).
