Bristol Rovers

The team has been consistently bouncing between League 1 and League 2. Three seasons ago, they finished last in the third division of England and were relegated to lower division, where they climbed to the 3rd spot a year later. The previous season in League 1, the team finished in 17th position, and currently, they are in 10th position.

In the 26th round, the "Pirates" suffered a defeat to Blackpool with a scoreline of 1:2. Subsequently, the lads lost for the 4th time in a row, this time with a minimal score to Exeter. After that, they managed to claim a victory over Oxford United, besting them 3:1. In the subsequent match, they narrowly defeated Exeter City. Alas, in the last round, the squad suffered a blow from Fleetwood in a 0:2 defeat.

Burton Albion

This marks the club's 6th consecutive season in League 1. Nevertheless, they have previously proven their worth by playing in League 2, claiming victory, and in the next season, securing 2nd place to progress into the Championship. That was quite a performance. However, after 2 years in the second division, the team returned to their current tournament. Last year, "Burton" showed average results, hence claiming only the 15th position in the standings.

At the moment, they occupy the 18th position in the championship. In the 26th round, they drew with Wycombe Wanderers (1:1). Following this, the team lost to Derby County with a scoreline of 2:3. They then managed to defeat Charlton Athletic (2:0). In the subsequent match, they had a scoreless draw with Cambridge United. In the final round, "Burton" suffered a narrow defeat to Lincoln City.

Head-to-Head

The last face-off between Bristol and Burton was on 21st October 2023. That encounter ended with a home victory for "Albion" with a score of 4:1.

Prediction

Both teams have been underperforming lately. "Albion" has been falling short on away matches and the "Rovers" haven’t been playing their best at home. However, I would place my bet on the home team, as despite their last 3 defeats, they have showcased decent football on their turf, no wonder they are positioned 10th in the table.
