Betting Insights
- With home advantage, Stevenage go into the game as favorites at around 1.90, with Burton listed as outsiders at 4.28 and the draw at 2.25.
- Our selection of Under 2.5 goals at 1.63 seems fair value in this fixture, as we expect a tight and tense game to ensue between two sides who are not the most free-scoring.
Prediction
- Stevenage can just edge a tight game.
- Stevenage is in superior form and have a better league position, defensive home record and greater attacking intent, so we’ll side with them to nick a closely fought affair that both clubs are desperate for the three points.
