Burton Albion vs Bristol Rovers – Predictions, Odds, & Best Betting Tips

Burton Albion were at the receiving end of a 3-0 hammering from Wycombe in the opening game of the campaign. A disappointing aspect for coaching Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink would be that his team were never in the races throughout the game. Bristol also started their League One journey with a 2-1 home defeat against Forest Green Rovers.

The odds presented here are always subject to change. One should check with the bookmaker before placing the bet. These odds from Ladbrokes were correct at the time of writing. Ladbrokes are our recommended bookmaker for the big game.

Burton Albion win

Burton Albion were undoubtedly hurt immensely by the recent loss to Wycombe. However, the team has frequently excelled in games against Bristol in the past with three consecutive home victories going back to 2018. The loss against Forest Green Rovers has brought Bristol back to earth after their impressive promotion campaign. They are unlikely to offer much threat to Burton.

Total goals under 2.5

The opening match of the campaign did not witness any goals from Burton, who did have chances after falling 3-0 down in the game against Wycombe. Still, there are plenty of issues for Burton in the final third and they are likely to survive on the odd goal.

Both Teams to Score – No

The two teams came up with a grand total of just one goal between them in the opening match of the season. It is very likely that the offensive form is likely to be kept in check by both team’s lack of confidence. At least one of the teams could end up without a goal.

Burton Albion vs Bristol Rovers: League One Preview and Team News

Burton Albion

Burton Albion finished in the mid-table positions last season but manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has been allowed the opportunity to stand in the team in a number of areas. The arrival of players like Victor Adeboyejo and Davis Keillor-Dunn provides much-needed new faces in the final third of the pitch.

Bristol Rovers

The loss at the hands of another newly promoted outfit is a major blow for Bristol and manager Joey Barton, who have started the new campaign with hopes of staying up in the first attempt. Bristol have a disappointing record against Burton in away matches, as they have not beaten this opponent at the Pirelli Stadium. Nick Anderton is the only player unavailable for selection.
