Our 3 Predictions For Burton Albion vs Blackpool:
- 1st Prediction For Burton Albion vs Blackpool: Match Result – Draw – 12/5
- 2nd Prediction For Burton Albion vs Blackpool: Under 2.5 Goals – 4/5
- 3rd Prediction For Burton Albion vs Blackpool: Both Teams To Score – No – 21/20
1st Prediction For Burton Albion vs Blackpool: Match Result – Draw – 12/5
Burton play their underdog card extremely well away from home, with a 6-game unbeaten streak on the road, but it’s been a different story at the Pirelli Stadium. Albion have only won 2 of their 7 games in East Staffordshire, losing 4 of their last 5 matches since taking 4 points from 6 at the start of the campaign. But Gary Bowyer’s outfit beat Bolton Wanderers on the previous international weekend last month.
In their way are the side with the worst away record in League One, with Blackpool losing each of their first 6 matches away from Bloomfield Road. But, there is a new man in the hot seat now, with Ian Evatt winning his first 3 games in charge across all competitions. That also includes their first victory on the road in his debut as Head Coach when they defeated Peterborough United.
There is very little separating these sides at their respective venues, so expect this game to end in a draw.
2nd Prediction For Burton Albion vs Blackpool: Under 2.5 Goals – 4/5
Along with their disappointing home record in terms of points, Burton are the joint-lowest scorers in the division. The Brewers have found the net just 5 times in 7 league games, and all of those came in their 2 victories thus far at the Pirelli Stadium. But, as part of their recent improved form, they hit St Albans for 6 in the FA Cup 1st Round.
Likewise, the Tangerines are also bottom of the third tier for goals scored away from their home ground, netting just 3 times. Ashley Fletcher was the only man to score on the road for Blackpool in their first 6 games, coming in their thrashing at Exeter City, before they won 2-1 at Posh last month. Two low-scorers facing each other should result in a game with limited goals.
3rd Prediction For Burton Albion vs Blackpool: Both Teams To Score – No – 21/20
These 2 sides have the worst defensive records on home soil this season, although Burton are marginally better than their weekend opponents with 10 against. They have been beaten heavily twice by Luton Town and Plymouth Argyle, conceding 7 times in the process. After both Burton and Mansfield Town scored in their season opener, that feat hasn’t been repeated in any of the Brewers’ 6 home league matches since.
Away from home, Blackpool are by no means the worst outfit for goals against, shipping 11 times. They had lost 4 consecutive games 1-0 before winning in Cambridgeshire, with both sides on the scoresheet that day for the first time away from home since losing 4-1 at Exeter in August. A lack of goalmouth action should see at least one side fail to score next weekend.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:
Burton continued their reputation of taking points off the promotion-chasing outfits by beating second-place Bradford City at the weekend. The Bantams were unbeaten on home soil until the East Staffordshire side caused a shock, just 2 weeks after they had defeated AFC Wimbledon. Bolton are now third in League One, but succumbed to a 3-0 loss at the Pirelli Stadium last month.
And in their rearranged meeting on the final day of September, Burton beat the side currently placed fourth in League One, Cardiff City. Victorious in 3 of their last 5 league games, Bowyer’s side have moved 4 points clear of the relegation places up into 15th place. A crucial Vertu Trophy tie awaits against Crewe Alexandra in midweek, before strugglers Exeter City and Leyton Orient are next up in the third tier.
New Blackpool boss Evatt has enjoyed a winning start to life at the Seasiders, ending their wretched away form by defeating Peterborough in his first match. After avoiding an FA Cup shock against Scunthorpe United, edging past the National League side, the Tangerines caused an upset of their own at the weekend. Against one of the favourites for promotion, Cardiff City, they put in easily one of their best performances of the season.
Running out 3-1 winners moved the Lancashire outfit to within 2 points of League One safety, finding themselves in their current predicament following Steve Bruce’s dismal start to the campaign. He was sacked at the beginning of last month after a year in charge of the club. Tranmere Rovers are next up on Tuesday evening to determine the winners of their EFL Trophy group, before Leyton Orient and Reading await in the league before November is out.
