Burton Albion - Blackpool predictions and free betting tips [26/12/2023]

On December 26th in League 1, England's third strongest division, at 15:00 GMT, Blackpool will play against Burton Albion at "Pirelli" Stadium. Let's inspect the state of both teams and try to make a decision that could augment our bankroll.

Burton Albion

It's already the 6th consecutive season for the club in League 1. However, they've shown better in the past when they competed in League 2, secured victory, and in the next season grabbed the runner-up spot subsequently advancing to the Championship. That was powerful. But after 2 years in the second division, the team reverted to playing in the current tournament. Last year, Burton showcased middling results, which led to only the 15th place in the league table.

At the moment, they occupy only the 19th position in the championship. In the 18th round, they suffered a loss against Peterborough (0:4). Then they lost to "Portsmouth". In the following round, "Burton" suffered their 4th consecutive defeat against Stevenage with a score of (1:2). After that, they were defeated by Oxford (0:3). And in the last match, the team drew with Charlton (1:1).

Blackpool

The team spent the last 2 years in the Championship, but their performance didn't quite take off and last season they finished 24th, dropping back down to League 1. Currently, Blackpool ranks eighth in the league table. In the 19th match, they staged a rout, this time away at Portsmouth (4:0). After this, the team suffered a setback against "Northampton" with a score of (1:2). In the next match, they defeated Carlisle (3:0). Then the guys suffered a loss from Cambridge with a score of (1:2). In the most recent round, Blackpool triumphed over Bristol Rovers (3:1).

Head-to-Head

The last face-to-face encounter between Blackpool and Burton was on August 5, 2023. That meeting ended with a victory for "Tangerines" with a score of (2:0).

Prediction

In this encounter, I suggest betting on the victory of the away team. Blackpool appears to be significantly stronger compared to their opponent at this time. Burton has been going through an extremely unsuccessful period lately, having suffered 5 consecutive losses, only managing to break this losing streak in the last round. However, a draw against Charlton can hardly be considered a situation improvement, as Charlton itself is currently not playing its best game.
