Burton Albion vs Blackpool Predictions

After a difficult few years off the pitch, Blackpool have now sorted out their ownership issues and are looking to put that behind them as they bid to start climbing the league and reclaiming former glories. This weekend they make a trip to face off against a Burton Albion side who have been solid enough and who have a good record against the Tangerines.

With two wins, a draw and two defeats in the league at home this season, Burton Albion’s form on home soil is not getting much in the way of headlines. However, when you factor in that just two goals have been conceded at the Pirelli Stadium, then it is clear to see what type of match we should be in for this weekend as the Brewers like to keep things tight at the back and nick the win by the odd goal or two.

The latest side to travel to the Pirelli Stadium is a Blackpool side who will be disappointed with their form in recent weeks as they have managed to claim just one win in their last five league matches. However, the Tangerines do have one of the more healthy records away from home in the division with 10 points coming from their seven matches on the road and they know that three points this weekend will keep them in the hunt in the play-off places.

A quick look at the table will tell you that both of these sides are fairly comfortable in mid-table, but given how tight it is, they both know a run of form would see them quickly rise up the rankings. Neither will want to be make the mistake which leads to a goal in this match and given that matches at the Pirelli Stadium this term have averaged just a goal per game, backing there to be under 2.5 goals scored looks to be the way to go.

For our correct score tip, the defensive strength at home for Burton means that we can only see a tight scoreline of a 1-0 home win occurring, and it is here where we shall be placing our funds.
