League One: The average league table positions tell a story of the journey Cheltenham Town and Burton Albion have undertaken uptil now. Both teams are ready for the match; let's get this baby out!
- Cheltenham Town have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Burton Albion have the fewest dropped points from leading position (2) in League One
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Cheltenham Town form and stats
Cheltenham Town have collected 18 points from their League One home games so far after 5-3-4.
The home team returns to Jonny-Rocks Stadium after being equal after 90 minutes with Oxford United (placed 5th) on their last time out; the League One game ended 1-1. Midfielder Sercombe was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.34 (out of ten) in that game. Sercombe hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Ahead of that match, Cheltenham lost 0-2 at home to Plymouth Argyle.The Cheltenham fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 12 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 20 goals have been conceded.
Burton Albion form and stats
Burton Albion have only collected 8 points from their away games in the League One, after 2-2-7 (11 played). Bitter travels for Burton Albion as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Fleetwood Town match.
Burton Albion won their last game, 4-1 versus Crewe Alexandra played at home. The attacker Hemmings got a match rating of 7.7 in that game. Hemmings scored one goal and hit one key pass.
Prior to that match, the Burton manager Hasselbaink faced defeat when travelling to Rotherham United and losing 1-3.The attacking power of Burton when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 11 league matches away. As opposed to that, Burton Albion have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
