Team Previews, Form and Standout Players - A regelation decider?

If Crawley Town can pick up three points in this game, it would put them nine points ahead of Burton and potentially pull them out of the drop zone.

Burton Albion Preview

Burton Albion Predicted Line-up: Max Crocombe; Jack Armer, Ryan Sweeney, Terence Vancooten, Alex Bannon; Kegs Chauke, Elliot Watt; Mason Bennett, Billy Bodin, Tomas Kalinauskas; Danilo Orsi

Burton Albion have had the worst start to a league season arguably in the world. They are yet to win a single league game and have four points from a possible 36 so far.

The worst part is that they recruited heavily over the summer, with what is now pretty much a new club with the amount of incomings and departures they had. The strategy seemed wild and unproven, and has left them with hardly any proven third tier players.

They seem to be the favourites to make the drop this season. Despite them being at home, they are also the worst home side in the league with just one point from five games at their Pirelli Stadium.

Crawley Town Preview

Crawley Town Predicted Line-up: Jojo Wollacott; Josh Flint, Toby Mullarkey, Jai Williams, Charlie Barker, Harry Forster; Jeremy Kelly, Bradley Ibrahim, Max Anderson; Ronan Darcy, Will Swan

Crawley Town were the favourites to make the drop this season. Especially after their successful manager Scott Lindsey departed early on into the season. They have continued to struggle and currently 22nd with 10 points from 13 games.

However, they’ve shown far more bite than the home side for this game. Crawley have actually won some games so far, with three victories and one draw. Yes they’ve lost nine, but they’ve shown the ability to go away in this league and pick up three points.

When it comes to standout players, Jeremy Kelly is second in the league for chances created so far. If anyone is going to unlock the shaky Burton defence, it will be Crawley’s 27-year-old American.
