Burton take on the visitors Cambridge United in the round 12 match of English League One. The match will be played on Monday, October 9th at Pirelli Stadium (Burton upon Trent).
Burton are not as strong now as it was in the past decade. The Brewers don't have much to boast about at the moment. However, a couple of years ago, they managed to make a significant leap from League 2 to the Championship. They even reached the semi-finals of the League Cup, earning the opportunity to play against Manchester United (and losing 0-9). Nevertheless, at that time, they were already in League 1. Currently, the team is struggling in League 1 and doesn't have any remarkable achievements to speak of. Last season, they finished 15th out of 24, and this season they started with three defeats and only two points after seven matches. They only managed to secure a victory against Port Vale and shared points with Fleetwood Town and Reading. After a 2-1 win against Wigan, they managed to move away from the danger zone.

The U's remained amateurs for a long time until 1949 when they gained professional status after World War II. However, they never managed to reach the top division and only made several attempts to reach the current Championship level. From 2005 to 2014, the team consistently played in the National League, the fifth tier in the UK football pyramid. So, their current performance in the third tier (finishing in the top half of League 1 in the 2022/2023 season) is considered a decent result. They started this season with two victories, followed by home wins against Bristol Rovers and even Reading. However, they had a setback, losing 0-4 to Barnsley in the last match, extending their winless streak to four games.
Cambridge had 10 points in four matches. But in May, Burton finally won at home with a single goal scored by Helm. The home team is favored, but the match is unlikely to be high-scoring. We expect total under 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
