Burton vs Peterborough Match Preview

Burton is ranked in 18th place with 38 points and comes after two wins a draw and two losses over the last five matches. It has not been a great year for them as they currently sit just five points above the relegation zone. However, having two games in hand gives them an advantage to try and make this gap even bigger.

With 42 goals scored so far they have shown a good offensive side and, in fact, they have one of the best attacks from the bottom half teams. Their recent win against a team like Wycombe surely gives a boost in their morale ahead of this duel. In the last five games they scored a total of four goals which is below their average of this season. But the thing is at home they have done much better as they got more than half of their points here.

Kirk has been their main man in attack with 5 goals - 4 assists, followed by Keillor-Dunn with 5 goals.

Peterborough, on the other side, is ranked in 9th place with 54 points and comes after two wins a draw and two losses over the last five matches. The recent ups and downs have kept them from climbing in ranks and shorten the distance with the play off zone. If they want to fight for a promotion spot they will need to start winning more games. Right now they sit nine points behind the 6th spot but having two games in hand could definitely turn things around for them in case they manage to win both of them.

With 55 goals scored they have one of the best offensive sides in the league and in the last five matches scored a total of seven goals averaging more than a goal per game. Even on the road they have been very good with seven goals in their last five matches while finding the back of the net in three duels.

Clarke-Harris has been having an amazing season with 19 goals - 4 assists and is also the best scorer in the league.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score a goal here. Burton in front of their fans has got to give it all in order to try and get a positive result out of this. Their rivals do not have a very solid defense so they will have their chances to score. Peterborough has one of the best strikers in the league and I guess they will try to shake off the heavy 0-3 defeat against Cheltenham.
