      Fleetwood Town vs Burton Albion Predictions

      Fleetwood take on Burton in front of a home crowd on Saturday afternoon, as they look to keep themselves inside the top six. On the other hand, the visitors will be looking to move towards the top six, of which they’re currently five points shy of.

      Overall, Fleetwood have done well this season; they’ve won more than they’ve lost, scored more than they’ve conceded and are in the top six after a quarter of the campaign. They did lose against the league leaders last time out, though that’s not the end of the world, while their defeat was a narrow one.

      They’ve not done too badly away from home, but Highbury Stadium is where the Cod Army have carried out their best work. Prior to their defeat against Ipswich, Joey Barton’s men were unbeaten at home, winning four and drawing one of their first five matches on their own patch. What’s more, Saturday’s hosts boast an encouraging average of 1.51 expected goals for and 0.79 against at home.

      Just as Fleetwood have thrived at home, Burton have been doing the business away from home, so much so that they come into this fixture with the second-best away record in the division. Only league leaders Ipswich have collected more travelling points than the Brewers, who’ve won three, drawn two and lost only one of their six away games.

      Not only have Burton secured plenty of good results away from home, but they’ve also delivered a handful of decent performances, which is why they’ve scored five more goals than they’ve conceded. They’ve been particularly useful in the final third, averaging two goals for and 1.7 expected goals for. Nigel Clough’s men also currently top the charts when it comes to shots on target for away from home in League 1.

      In truth, there’s plenty to like about both teams. Based on what we’ve seen so far this term, Fleetwood are a side that can generally be fancied to do well at home, while Burton can be fancied to do well on their travels. That said, at the prices, it is the visitors who appeal more. The hosts are no mugs, but against strong opposition, they look to have slightly less of a chance of emerging victorious than the current odds suggest, so a small play on ‘Burton +0.25 Asian Handicap’ offers punters some value.

      Those looking for a ‘Correct Score’ angle can try a 2-1 win for the visitors, who despite failing to keep regular clean sheets have tended to thrive when playing on the break, which bodes well ahead of a match against a Fleetwood side that is likely to dictate the ball at home.
