Burton Albion vs Fleetwood Town Match Analysis and Prediction

2 years ago 451

Having recently found some form, Burton Albion will play host to Fleetwood Town at Pirelli Stadium on Tuesday evening.

On the other hand, the visitors suffered a 1-0 defeat to Barnsley on Saturday and have only picked up one victory in their last eight league matches.

Burton endured a poor start to the season having picked up just one point in their first eight league matches. However, in their last three games they have claimed six points, including a 3-2 home victory over Forest Green Rovers on Saturday.

There was something impressive avout their performance this weekend, with Burton finding themselves 1-0 up within six minutes before being pegged back and not only a goal down but a man down in the 69th minute.

However, Victor Adeboyejo was having none of it and inspired his side to a 3-2 victory with an 82nd-minute goal and a 92nd-minute winner to complete his hat-trick and claim their second victory of the League One campaign.

Meanwhile, Fleetwood have made themselves the draw specialists of the League One season so far, having picked up six draws in their opening 10 matches, leaving them sitting 15th in the table.

After narrowly avoiding relegation last season, Scott Brown took over the side and results have been less than ideal, with Fleetwood sitting just three points ahead of the relegation zone, which is too close for comfort given their last campaign.

The number of draws means that Fleetwood may not be far from getting on track, but goals have been an issue.

Another draw looked on the cards in their previous game against top-six side Barnsley before a 90th-minute winner meant disappointment for Brown and his side, which they will be hoping to get over as they are back on the road again for the Tuesday’s contest.

Burton Albion news

Burton Albion will be missing Tom Hamer, who was sent off in their previous game, with his repalacement likely to be Deji Oshilaja stepping back into the defence from midfield.

Everton loanee Tyler Onyango is likely to find his way into the starting lineup with changes being made in midfield.
