Burton Albion host Huddersfield Town on 3 October 2026 at 17:00 in League One round 9. Burton ended a four-game winless run with a 1-0 victory over Plymouth but will be without defender Toby Sibbick, who is on international duty, and forward Mark O'Mahony, who remains sidelined. Huddersfield arrive after a 2-1 defeat to Bromley and face injury concerns with McKiernan, Headman, and Whitely all doubtful following knocks in that match.
Form and Head to Head
Burton have won only 17% of their last six home matches and conceded 1.50 goals per game during that run, though they remain difficult to beat at the Pirelli Stadium. Huddersfield have been in stronger overall form, averaging 1.90 points per game across their last 10 matches and scoring 1.57 goals per game away from home. The Terriers' attacking threat and recent consistency make them the favoured side despite their latest setback.
Best Bet
Huddersfield to win 2-1. Both teams average at least 2.50 total goals per game, and Huddersfield's superior form and away scoring record suggest they will overcome Burton's home resilience. The visitors' attacking potential combined with Burton's defensive vulnerabilities point to a narrow away victory.
Odds to Watch
Over 2.5 goals is the standout market given both sides' goal-scoring averages and the likelihood of an open contest. Both Teams to Score offers value as well, with both Burton and Huddersfield capable of finding the net. Correct Score 1-2 in Huddersfield's favour reflects the expected pattern of play and remains a viable option for those seeking longer odds.
