Accrington Stanley are just five points behind the playoffs with two games in hand. Burton are a further three points back having played |
a game more. As a result this game holds more importance for the away team. Accrington Stanley have been unable to make the most of |
home advantage in recent weeks winning just one of their last four in front of their own supporters. |
| |
In this run they were well beaten by Rochdale and Notts County bringing into question their ability of being a playoff side. They also |
failed to beat 20th place Macclesfield drawing 1 - 1 with the relegation threatened side. |
| |
Burton will be looking to make it 4 wins from their last 5 games on the road tonight when they travel to Accrington Stanley. They have |
picked up three points at Aldershot, Hereford and Cheltenham in recent weeks to keep their small hopes a playoff place alive. |
| |
These recent results are not enough to back Burton on their own, even at generous odds of 13/5 at  Expekt. However add team news into |
the equation and suddenly Burton become a decent bet. Accrington Stanley will be without their number one striker Michael Symes who |
has a three match ban after being sent off against Rochdale. |
| |
Symes has been a crucial player for Stanley all season long banging in 12 goals including 1 in each of their previous two games. Without |
Symes to lead the attack they could struggle to find the killer edge against a decent Burton team who themselves have no injury problems |
or suspensions ahead of the game. |
