All eyes on Burton Albion as Blackburn travel to face Burton Albion.
Burton Albion welcome Blackburn in the EFL Cup. We've crunched the numbers. Here's our preview.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. Burton Albion will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while Blackburn travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. Burton Albion average 1.0 goals per game and Blackburn manage 0.8. Combined that's just 1.8. We make it only 46% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 48%.
Burton Albion do it the hard way: only 1.0 a game up top, but a mean 0.8 conceded. They're a tough nut to crack: they soak up pressure and hit you on the break.
