**Burton vs Blackpool Preview**
Burton will welcome Blackpool to the Pirelli Stadium in a crucial League One clash this Saturday. Both sides will be eager to return to winning ways after suffering defeats in their previous matches.
Burton’s impressive undefeated run came to an end following a 3-1 loss to Crewe in their last outing, ending four games without a setback. The hosts currently find themselves in a precarious position, where a win is essential to maintain their standing. Burton sit 15th in the table with 19 points, level on points with Wycombe, and closely trailed by three teams on 18 points each. Last season, the Brewers narrowly avoided relegation, finishing 20th out of 24 teams by just one point. The team will be keen to avoid a similar scrap at the bottom of the table this campaign.
With 15 matchdays played, Burton are only six points shy of the League One play-off zone. Maintaining consistent form and dropping fewer points from here could see them challenge for those positions as the season progresses.
On the other side, Blackpool head into this match having lost 2-1 away to Tranmere in their previous EFL Trophy game. This will be their second away trip in five matches, where they have recorded one win and one loss. The Seasiders currently find themselves in a dire situation, sitting 21st—inside the relegation zone—with just 15 points.
Their recent history against Burton offers some encouragement. Blackpool have not lost to Burton since December 2023, with their last meeting at Pirelli Stadium ending in a 1-1 draw. Furthermore, their previous visit to the venue resulted in a commanding 4-0 victory. However, Blackpool’s current form this season is unconvincing, and they will need to rediscover their previous strengths.
