Burton Albion have fought quite a few losing battles for points this league season. Will the team get some points when Plymouth Argyle come to visit Pirelli Stadium?
- Burton Albion have the most conceded goals (38) in League One
- Plymouth Argyle have the most scored goals (37) in League One
This promises to be an engrossing match with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well recovered since they last saw competitive action. Let's start!
Burton Albion form and stats
Burton Albion's struggle is real here at Pirelli Stadium with only 8 points collected from 9 League One games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-2-5.
The spoils were shared in Burton Albion's previous game, also at home. Visiting Charlton Athletic (placed 11th) travelled back with a draw after a 3-3 scoreline. Burton salvaged the draw from a difficult situation against Charlton Athletic, trailing 0-2 at one point. Not giving up resulted in Adeboyejo equalizing. Midfielder Taylor was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.15 (out of ten) in that game. Taylor served one assist, hit eight key passes and had 49 successful passes (of 59 total).
A home win ahead of that match, as expected. The team were huge favourites against Needham Market and won 2-0. This is expected to be a close game, with Burton Albion perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Burton Albion as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Burton Albion has won 3 of these, drawn 3 and lost 7.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Burton Albion as they have a new game in only two days, a EFL Trophy match thankfully also at home. Tranmere Rovers are visiting.
Burton aren't scoring a lot here at Pirelli Stadium in the league, with only {8 goals} from 9 games. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Burton Albion have conceded 16 from these games.
Plymouth Argyle form and stats
4 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Plymouth Argyle, who have the most scored goals (37) in League One, playing as the away team in the League One this season. In general it has been a productive period now for Plymouth Argyle as they haven't lost any of their last 14 games.
Plymouth Argyle are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Lincoln City (placed 13th). Cooper had red hot gloves after the game against Lincoln City, shaping the outcome of the game with seven saves made.
A loss, in the FA Cup away at Grimsby Town, before that. So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Plymouth playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 4 Plymouth Argyle wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
Take note that 8 of this side's 10 most recent league matches have ended with at least three goals.
