Tom Hounsell has overseen nine games as caretaker manager for Burton after replacing Mark Robinson in October. He started his managerial career with a defeat to Cambridge United but then saw his team go on a promising four-game unbeaten run. However, Burton then went on a difficult run of games, losing three consecutive league matches and a second round FA Cup match against Tamworth on penalties. Despite the disappointment of being eliminated from the cup, Hounsell would have been delighted by his side's reaction as they earned a 1-0 league win over Peterborough through a Mason Bennett strike. With their second league win of the season, Burton will now look to win back-to-back games for the first time since February 2024 in their quest to bridge the seven-point gap to safety.
Burton Albion Predicted Lineup
Crocombe; Godwin-Malife, Vancooten, Sraha, Sweeney; Gilligan, Watt; Chauke, Bennett, Kalinauskas; Burrell
Wrexham form
The latter end of the table features Wrexham, at the moment, in the second position with 11 wins, four draws, and three losses in their 18 league matches so far. The team had been impressive in recent times following their last away game loss where Wrexham lost 1-0 to Stockport County on November 16. Since then, Wrexham has won consecutively three home matches without conceding a goal. Wins over Exeter City and Lincoln City were preceded by a tight 1-0 win over Barnsley, the winning goal having fallen to Ollie Rathbone in the 92nd minute. Nine victories and one draw out of 10 home league games has helped Wrexham achieve 37 points from League One this season so far. Management Phil Parkinson will hope his side can continue their winning ways on travels too because they have claimed just one out of their last six games, with two draws and three losses.
Wrexham Predicted Lineup
Howard; Cleworth, O'Connell, Brunt; Barnett, Cannon, James, Rathbone, Revan; Lee, Palmer
