Nothing to worry about in defence for Ipswich, as their goalkeeper Christian Walton has completely shut out the opponents for 354 minutes in the League One.

The home team returns to Portman Road Stadium after drawing with Milton Keynes Dons (placed 3rd) on their last time out; the game ended 0-0. The goalie Walton was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.1 out of ten. Walton topped it up with a clean sheet.

Burton Albion form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Burton Albion so far with only 15 points returning home. The records show 4-3-8 (win-draw-lose).

A draw for Burton Albion before that, at their own venue hosting Cambridge United (2-2).

Burton are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, two draws and six defeats. From a total of twelve matches.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Burton Albion manager Hasselbaink as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Sunderland.
