Burton Albion - Wycombe predictions and free betting tips [06/01/2024]

On 6st January in League 1, the third-strongest division in England, at the Tafshit Community Stadium, Bolton will play against Burton. Let's take a look at the state of the teams and try to make a decision that would help increase our bank.

Burton Albion

This is already the 6th season in a row in League 1 for the club. However, they were previously showcasing their best, as the lads played in League 2, emerged victorious, and in the following season took 2nd place and stepped up to the Championship. It was quite impressive. But after 2 years in the second division, the team has returned to their current tournament. Last season, Burton demonstrated average results, occupying only the 15th place in the league table.

At the moment, they are placed 19th in the championship. In the 21st round, they lost to Oxford (0:3). The team then drew with Charlton (1:1). In the next fixture, they won a minimal victory over Blackpool. After that, the lads defeated Shrewsbury Town (1:0). But in the last round, Burton suffered a defeat against Bolton (0:1).

Wycombe Wanderers

A relatively unknown team that has spent most of its time in League 2. In the season 2017/2018, the team finally managed to take third place in the 4th division and advance to League 1. Their successes didn't end there; a year later, they won the League 1 playoffs and went to the Championship for the first time. However, they returned to League 1 just a season later. Last year, they had chances to participate in the playoffs and return to the Championship, but the team failed in the last matches and finished only in 9th place.

At the moment, Wycombe is losing ground, standing 16th in the league table. In the 20th round, they managed to break their losing streak, drawing with Derby County (1:1). They then drew with Port Vale (1:1). In the following round, they suffered another defeat, this time from Exeter City (0:1). After that, the team drew with Leyton Orient (0:0). In the last match, Wycombe defeated Bristol City with a score of 3:2.

Head-to-Head

The last time the teams met was on 19th August 2023. That match ended in a draw (0:0).

Prediction

In this confrontation, I suggest placing a bet on a zero handicap for the home team. The teams are currently roughly on the same level. However, Burton has the home ground advantage, and Wycombe has been quite mediocre in away matches.
