Burton Albion prepare to entertain Morecambe at The Pirelli Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, beating their opponents 3 times from 7 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Pirelli Stadium was just last season, in August 2009, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 5-2 thriller, in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Burton Albion have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
Morecambe's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Shrimps have hit 7 goals, 17 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Burton Albion see themselves just below half way in the Npower League Two, showing a record of 2 points from their 2 games played so far, Morecambe are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 1 points from 2 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Burton Albion at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Brewers will at least gain a draw. Score draw
