The pressure Burton felt for most of the season ended on Saturday. The club is now safe from relegation. Burton's year had a lot of ups and downs, but they had a few good stretches of the season that kept them above the water. Burton haven't impressed lately, winning only two of their last five matches. In the previous game, they won 2-1 at home against Cambridge United. The home side finished the match with an xG of only 0.19, but they found a way to score two goals and secure a victory that left them at a safe distance from the drop zone.
The glorious Wigan games ended as the reality is now to be only a mid-table team in League One. Wigan surely expected more and we should anticipate some changes in the offseason. They played well lately, with six games in a row without defeat. In the previous match, Wigan played 1-1 at home against Blackpool. The stats were significantly on the guests' side, but the home side defended well and picked up another point.
Burton vs Wigan pick: Under 2.5 goals
Burton scored only three goals in the last three matches. On the other hand, Wigan allowed only one goal in the previous four games. We shouldn't see more than two goals on Tuesday in Burton on Trent.
