Burton - Huddersfield
Burton Albion and Huddersfield Town meet at Pirelli Stadium
Can Burton Albion maintain the momentum of their recent victory as they host Huddersfield Town at Pirelli Stadium on 3 October 2026 for matchday 9 of League One? The hosts rely on a balanced setup that has seen them navigate a series of high-scoring draws and a recent 1-0 win over Plymouth Argyle. With a tactical emphasis on exploiting space, Burton will look to disrupt the visitors' rhythm early on. Huddersfield Town arrive seeking a return to form following a setback against Bromley, aiming to tighten their defensive structure after a run of results that included a 1-1 draw with Notts County.
Historically, this fixture has favoured Burton, who secured a 3-1 win when the sides last met in League One on 17 January 2026. Huddersfield must address their recent inconsistency to challenge a side that has proven difficult to break down at home.
