BURTON ALBION v CHESTERFIELD
Friday 12th February 2016 – Kickoff: 1945hrs
Football – England – League One Betting Tips
Burton Albion hold a four-point cushion at the top of League One ahead of Friday night’s clash with Chesterfield, and this lead could be extended to seven points if they take the spoils here tonight.
Burton have suffered just two defeats in their last twelve games overall in the English third tier which were to Shrewsbury Town and Rochdale but with a dominating home record of 10-3-2 25/12 at their Pirelli Stadium, The Brewers look in good shape ahead of this important encounter.
In addition, Burton Albion have failed to score on just two occasions from their total of 15 home matches so far this season as they’ve resumed their partnership with former manager Nigel Clough who moulded his squad into eventual Conference winners.
Visitors Chesterfield sit in a disappointing 19th place in League One following three straight defeats recently to Wigan Athletic, Millwall and Peterborough United. And, despite holding what looks like a strong away record of 6-0-8 15/22, The Spireites have lost five of their last six matches on their travels with defeats at Port Vale, Doncaster Rovers, Bury, Peterborough and Wigan Athletic.
In addition, Chesterfield have failed to hit the back of the net on 6 occasions out of their 14 away matches so far this season, while keeping just two clean sheets in reply, they look likely to struggle against a strong defensive unit like Burton on Friday night.
I fancy Burton to take the points tonight to extend their lead at the top of the division.
