Burton Albion vs Leicester Prediction & Betting Tips - Carabao Cup
by Devesh Jaganath in Carabao Cup Predictions
Burton Albion will get their Carabao Cup campaign underway against Leicester City on Wednesday evening. The hosts come into this match off the back of a 2-0 loss in their opening league match of the season against Blackpool. Burton finished last season in 15th place in League One with 56 points, which was a massive 30 points behind the top for teams in the league. Over the course of the season, they recorded 15 wins, 11 draws, and 20 losses. The visitors were also the second-highest conceding team in League One, allowing in 79 goals, with only bottom club Forest Green faring worse. While their overall record was far from impressive, they were significantly better at home last term, suffering just one loss in their last ten league games at Pirelli Stadium. These sides met back in 2019 in this competition, and the visitors emerged as 3-1 winners. Burton are 5/1 outsiders in this encounter.
Meanwhile, Leicester City were relegated from the Premier League last season and will be hoping to get back to the top flight at the first time of asking. They got life in the Championship started positively with a 2-1 win over Coventry City in their opening match in the league over the weekend. Leicester were involved in a heated relegation battle that came down to the last day but were unable to avoid the drop, along with Leeds United and Southampton. The visitors managed just nine wins all season, along with seven draws and 22 losses. However, despite their poor record, they were the highest-scoring side in the bottom half of the table with 51, which was the same tally that Conference League qualifiers Aston Villa recorded. Leicester are one of the favourites to secure promotion this season and should live up to their favourites tag in this one.
