A close and competitive clash awaits at Pirelli Stadium
Burton Albion are 7th in League One 2026/27 with 12 points from eight games, one place above Huddersfield Town on goal difference. The Brewers have been positive on home soil, averaging 2.25 goals per game with nine scored in total, but they come into this fixture off the back of a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest U21 in the EFL Trophy.
The Terriers have had a mixed time on the road in League One 2026/27, they beat Doncaster Rovers 3-1 in the EFL Trophy, drew 0-0 away at Mansfield in League One and lost 2-1 to Bromley. This game represents a clash of styles, with the Brewers offering a direct style of play and the Terriers favouring a possession based approach.
Burton and Huddersfield in the driving seat
Huddersfield are the slight favourites in this one at 41/50, which seems a bit short considering Burton are 3/1 and the draw is 27/10. The hosts have been solid since Gary Bowyer took over in December 2024 and will play in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system with direct balls, quick transitions and high levels of structure.
Finn Delap provides the spark in this side, he has two goals in five League One games this season, whilst Joe Taylor is the danger man for Huddersfield with five goals in seven games.
Both teams to score and under 2.5 goals?
The bet that stands out for this game is BTTS Yes at 7/10, it's a bit of a feel bet and it's hard to choose between under 2.5 goals and over 2.5 goals as both are roughly priced the same.
Huddersfield are the form favourites, but Burton are on their own turf and have had the edge in this fixture in recent times (Won 2, Drawn 2). We're going with Huddersfield to edge this one, but Burton can hold their own and this could go to the wire.
Burton's last five games in all current competitions: Won 1, Drawn 2, Lost 2.
Huddersfield's last five in all competitions: Won 2, Drawn 2, Lost 1.
Derensili Sanches Fernandes provides the craft for the Terriers, he has three assists in their last five in all comps.
