Burton
- Bowyer's Brewers have a structure-first mentality, with a back three, wing-backs and quick vertical bursts.
- Burton come into this game on the back of a 5-game run (W1, D2, L2), so they aren't flying high, but they aren't struggling either.
- The Brewers have won just once, drawn once and lost twice in their last 5 home matches, so the Pirelli hasn't been a fortress of late.
-
Recent matches:
- Burton's last 3 games were a 0-1 friendly home defeat to Birmingham City, a 1-0 friendly home win over Derby County and a 1-2 home loss to Blackburn Rovers in the EFL Cup 2026/2027.
Stevenage
- Boro have won 4, drawn 2 and lost 4 of their last 10 in all competitions, so that's a slightly sharper edge than their hosts, but still a mixed profile.
- Stevenage have won once and lost once in their last 2 away matches, so they are starting to play better on the road, but 9 goals shipped in 4 away matches is still a red flag at the back.
-
Recent matches:
- Stevenage's last 2 games were a 1-0 win over Millwall and a 2-1 win over Wycombe Wanderers.
Head-to-Head
Burton have failed to beat Stevenage in the last 3 home games, losing the most recent match 1-0 away in League One 2025/2026.
