Burton Albion Preview – Can the Brewers end winless run?
Burton Albion have had a topsy-turvy season in League One. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s men have picked up 50 points from 43 matches, winning 13, drawing 11 and losing 19. The Brewers have claimed just two league victories since January, suffering eight defeats along the way.
Since seeing off Fleetwood Town in a five-goal thriller at the Pirelli on 12th March, Burton are without a win in five. They lost two on the bounce but have drawn three consecutive games since, drawing 0-0 with Plymouth Argyle, Wigan Athletic and Accrington Stanley.
Albion will be looking to get back to scoring ways here after failing to net in each of their last five. The bookies are offering 4/1 for a home win this Tuesday.
Rotherham United Preview – Will the Millers move a step closer to promotion?
Rotherham United have had an excellent season on the whole, racking up 83 points from 42 league games. Paul Warne’s men also won the EFL Trophy at Wembley Stadium earlier in the month. They sit second in the league, four points behind leaders Wigan.
The Millers had a slump in form recently, losing successive matches to Shrewsbury Town, Charlton Athletic and Portsmouth. However, they got back to winning with a massive three points against Ipswich Town last Saturday – Michael Smith got the only goal of the game at the New York Stadium.
