Burton Albion vs Accrington Stanley Predictions

• Burton Albion have won five of their last six League One fixtures.
• Accrington Stanley have lost each of their last three League One games. 
• Burton Albion have scored under 1.5 goals in nine of their 12 League One home games.
• Accrington Stanley have scored under 1.5 goals in 13 of their 14 League One away games. 

Burton Albion’s impressive run of form

Burton Albion will host Accrington Stanley in this Saturday’s League One fixture. Burton will hope to continue their impressive recent run of form in Saturday’s tie. They have been one of League One’s in-form sides in recent weeks. 

Burton Albion have won five of their last six League One games. Only league leaders Rotherham United (16) have earned more points than Burton (15) over the past six games. 

In addition to that, Burton Albion have been enjoying an impressive run of home form of late. They have lost just one of their last 10 League One home games, winning each of their last four home fixtures. Their recent form will likely give them confidence going into Saturday’s game.

Accrington’s recent struggles and poor away form

Burton Albion’s tally of 15 points over the past six games is more than double the points tally of their opponents this Saturday, Accrington Stanley, over the past six games. Accrington have earned just seven points over the past six games. Furthermore, they have lost each of their last three League One fixtures. 

In addition to that, Accrington have failed to impress in many of their games away from home this season. They have failed to win 12 of their 14 League One away games going into Saturday’s fixture. We feel they are likely to struggle against in-form Burton Albion this weekend. 

This fixture may deliver a low scoring game

We feel that this game has a good chance of producing a low number of goals. Firstly, Burton Albion’s home defensive record is currently the best in League One. They have impressively conceded just eight goals in their 12 League One home games. 

Burton’s solid defence will concern an Accrington side who haven’t exactly been prolific in front of goal away from home this season. Accrington have scored under 1.5 goals in 13 of their 14 League One away games this season. This has contributed to 10 of Accrington’s 14 League One away games seeing under 2.5 goals. 

In addition to their impressive defensive record, Burton Albion have also been relatively low scoring at home this season. They have scored under 1.5 goals in nine of their 12 League One home games. 10 of Burton Albion’s 12 League One home games have seen under 2.5 goals this season. 

We feel that Burton Albion’s recent form gives them the edge going into Saturday’s fixture. We are backing Burton Albion to win this game. We also feel that both of these sides’ recent goalscoring form will likely contribute to this game producing a low number of goals. We feel a 1-0 win for Burton Albion may be a likely result here.
