Burton will face off against Blackpool at Pirelli Stadium in League One this Saturday, with both teams eager to bounce back from recent defeats.
Burton’s unbeaten streak came to an end with a 3-1 loss to Crewe in their last match, after going four games without a loss. Currently sitting in 15th place, tied with Wycombe on 19 points, Burton needs a win to maintain their position in the table. Last season, the Brewers narrowly avoided relegation, finishing 20th out of 24 teams. With only six points behind the League One play-offs zone, Burton has a chance to climb up the table if they can secure more points in the upcoming matches.
On the other hand, Blackpool suffered a 2-1 defeat against Tranmere in their previous game in the EFL Trophy. The Seasiders are currently in the relegation zone, occupying the 21st spot with 15 points. Despite their recent struggles, Blackpool has a good record against Burton, having not lost against them since December 2023. However, their current form leaves much to be desired, making this upcoming match a crucial one for them.
In terms of head-to-head stats, Burton has won once, drawn once, and lost three times in their last five meetings with Blackpool. Additionally, Burton has won twice and lost thrice in their last five home matches in all competitions, while Blackpool has won once and lost four times in their last five away matches. Based on recent form, Burton seems to have the upper hand in this match.
Predictions for the game suggest that Burton is likely to come out on top with a 3-1 victory over Blackpool. Betting tips also lean towards Burton, with suggestions to bet on Burton to win, the game to have over 2.5 goals, Burton to score first, and Blackpool to score as well.

It promises to be an exciting clash between the two teams at Pirelli Stadium this weekend.
