• We are taking the 2.35 for over 2.5 goals in this one and 1.76 on both teams to score - no.
• The oddsmakers don’t think a high-scoring game is on the cards here, perhaps because of Stevenage’s goals-per-game average and Burton’s decent home record.
• Stevenage have only averaged 1.06 goals-per-game away, scoring just 18 in 17 away league fixtures.
