Competition: League One

Market: Burton Albion draw no bet

Odds: 8/11 @ 1xBet

Knowing that they can officially extend on their League One status, Burton will welcome Wigan to the Pirelli Stadium on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Burton might have opened 2025 pencilled in as a leading relegation candidate, the Brewers have certainly breathed life back into their charge for League One safety. Knowing that they can officially extend on their third-tier status on Tuesday night, Gary Bowyer’s side should be smelling a potential opportunity here. Making an immediate return to winning ways last time out as they secured a 2-1 victory against Cambridge, the former Blackpool boss has seen his squad lose just one of their previous four League One appearances. Likewise, despite falling to a 2-1 loss against already-promoted Birmingham on April 21st, Burton should be excited by their rugged success on home soil. Including a sensational 3-0 romp against Huddersfield earlier in the month, Tuesday’s hosts have won three of their last four showdowns at the Pirelli Stadium. It should also be noted, the Brewers have lost just a pair of their previous nine matchups in front of their own supporters – a run that stems back to January 4th.

As for the visitors, still firmly stuck in the bottom-half of the League One table, Wigan have endeared a public struggle this season. Despite mustering seven points from their last three appearances, Ryan Lowe’s side have drastically failed to find any kind of fluidity. Getting April underway with a 1-0 loss at home against bitter local rivals Bolton, the Latcis have won just a pair of their last nine League One showdowns. Drastically seeking some kind of clinical edge in the final third and not recording more than a single goal in a contest since the end of February, Wigan have also gained a reputation for their struggles on the road. Including a 2-1 defeat against Charlton last month, Tuesday’s guests have mustered just a sole win from any of their previous eight matchups away from the Brick Community Stadium. Wigan should also be concerned by their most recent meeting against Burton. In fact, along with a 2-1 loss against the Brewers on January 21st, they have mustered just a single point from any of their last three League One battles.

Bet: Burton Albion draw no bet against Wigan Athletic 8/11 for Tuesday’s League One contest @ 1xBet
