Burton Albion vs. Port Vale Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Burton Albion vs. Port Vale

Burton Albion and Port Vale are set to face each other for the third time this season in Tuesday’s FA Cup first-round replay. The Brewers emerged victorious with a 3-2 win in their league clash in September, and the two teams later played out a goalless draw in the initial cup meeting.

Since encountering Port Vale at the start of the month, Burton Albion has experienced back-to-back losses to Doncaster Rovers and Northampton Town in the EFL Trophy and league matches, respectively.

In their recent match against Northampton, Burton boss Dino Maamria witnessed his team enter halftime on even terms after a goalless first period.

However, second-half goals from Marc Leonard and Sam Hoskins led to Burton leaving Sixfields empty-handed. Unfortunately, Burton has now endured a winless streak in five competitive games since their 4-1 victory over Bristol Rovers on October 21.

What to remember – Burton Albion vs. Port Vale

Despite Burton’s winless run in five competitive matches, it’s worth noting that four of those games occurred away from the Pirelli Stadium.
