History of the Stevenage Borough v Burton Albion fixture

Stevenage B. prepare to entertain Burton Albion at Broadhall Way on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 3 of the 6 previous games, with the Boro winning just 2.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Broadhall Way was less than a year ago, in October 2007, when they fought out a thrilling high-scoring 3-3 draw in a (Conference) Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Stevenage Borough's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Boro have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Burton Albion's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Brewers have hit 7 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Stevenage B. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 5 points from 7 matches. Burton Albion are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 14 points from 7 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Boro at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Brewers come away with an easy victory. Away win
