Burton Albion - Port Vale predictions and free betting tips [23/03/2024]

Tomorrow in League 1, the third strongest division in England, "Burton Albion" will be playing against "Port Vale" at the "Pirelli" stadium. Let's take a look at the state of the teams and try to make a decision to help increase our bankroll.

"Burton Albion"

This is already the 6th season in a row in League 1 for the club. Prior to this, they demonstrated a strong side when they played in League 2, won, and in the next season took 2nd place and entered the Championship. That was mighty. But after two years in the second division, the team returned to play in their current league. Last year, "Burton" showed average results, finishing only 15th in the league table.

At the moment, they occupy the 19th position in the championship. In the 34th round, they lost with a minimal score to "Carlisle". In the next match, "Burton" drew 0-0 with "Cheltenham". This was followed by a loss to "Peterborough" (1:3). Then the team lost to "Portsmouth" (1:2). And in the last round, the guys lost with a minimum score to "Exeter".

"Port Vale"

I would label this squad as an "elevator team". The guys don't linger for long in one league. They constantly alternate League 2 with League 1. Last year they stuck in the 3rd division, finishing 18th. The lads are averaging this season, ultimately, they hold the 23rd place with 33 points earned.

In the 33rd round, they drew with "Fleetwood" (2:2). After that, they lost to "Derby" (0:3). In the next game, the guys suffered a home defeat to "Shrewsbury" (1:2). Afterwards, they drew with "Leyton Orient" (0:0). In their last match, they succumbed at home to "Oxford" (0:2).

Head-to-Head Encounters

The last face-to-face match between "Burton" and "Port Vale" was on 14th November 2023. That encounter ended with a win for "Port Vale" (2:0).

Prediction

Both teams have been showing terrible results in their recent games. Both have suffered 3 losses and drawn 1 in the last 4 rounds. However, I would try to bet on a zero handicap for the hosts, the home stadium should give them at least some advantage.

Total Prediction

I think the teams will not display a high-scoring game here, so I would suggest betting on a total under 2.5.
