Match Preview: Burton Albion (H)

Everything you need to know ahead of Brewers clash

December 29th 2022FGR Media

Rovers will play their first game at The Bolt New Lawn in 19 days this evening, with Burton Albion making the trip to Gloucestershire.

With the League One season now at the halfway point, here are all the key details ahead of the meeting with the Brewers.

WHAT WE SAID:

Head Coach Ian Burchnall said: "There's no more pressure (on this game) than there was on the Cambridge game. We closed the gap to three that day.

"The Cheltenham game probably had more pressure, so it’s just a game like any other."

Paragraph Break

WHAT THEY SAID:

"We need to keep up our momentum and hopefully put a winning run together and see where that takes us," said Brewers boss Dino Maamria.

“We are now halfway through the season, and I think if we perform like we did on Boxing Day and keep that consistency I’m sure we will be fine."

TEAM NEWS:

Kyle McAllister could feature against the Brewers after missing out against MK Dons with a minor back injury. Connor Wickham is unlikely to make the 18-man squad as he recovers from injury.

Matty Stevens will be pushing for more minutes after making his first appearance in 268 days against MK Dons.

Reece Brown is back training on the grass, but is still a few weeks away from a return. Jordan Moore-Taylor is a long-term absentee.
