Stevenage vs Burton Albion Predictions

Another quiet game for hard-to-beat hosts

There has been a lack of goals in Stevenage’s games this season, and Saturday’s clash with Burton Albion at Lamex Stadium is unlikely to be any different.

There have been under 2.5 goals in 16 of Stevenage’s 23 League One matches this season, and the unders looks the bet here.

Stevenage are 11 places above Burton Albion in the table, with the two sides separated by 17 points. Stevenage are 13th having won eight, drawn seven and lost eight of their 24 games this season, while Burton are rock bottom with just two wins.

Stevenage are hard to beat, having avoided defeat in eight of their last nine League One games. Two weeks ago they were 3-0 winners over Bristol Rovers in their last League One home game. In contrast, Burton Albion are struggling to find a win, with seven games without recording a victory.

Both sides have been disappointing in front of goal this season, but Stevenage’s struggles are particularly concerning. They have scored just 18 goals in 23 League One games – an average of 0.8 goals per game – and no team in the division has failed to find the net in more games than their total of 11.

There have been under 2.5 goals in seven of Burton’s last nine League One games, and Stevenage have seen 16 of their 23 matches this season finish with fewer than three goals.

Stevenage have won three of their last four League One home games and five of their eight victories this season have been by a single goal. With Burton Albion having gone down by a single goal nine times this season, Stevenage to win 1-0 looks a decent correct-score bet.
