Burton Albion form and stats

As the visiting team in League One matches, Burton Albion have produced an overall stat of 1-2-2 so far.

Burton failed to get anything from their last game, a EFL Trophy home match vs Aston Villa U21 that ended with defeat 2-4. Leading 2-0 was not enough for Burton in their fight with Aston Villa U21 last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 2-4 loss. As you can tell from the result, the match against Aston Villa U21 was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

A 1-1 draw at AFC Wimbledon's stadium before that.
