Burton - Mansfield
Last updated: Today, at Burton Albion and Mansfield Town search for consistency
Burton Albion look to regain their composure at Pirelli Stadium this Saturday, 19 September 2026, as they host Mansfield Town for matchday 7 of the League One season. The hosts arrive following a difficult 3-0 defeat to Oxford United, a result that interrupted a sequence of mixed outcomes. Having showcased their attacking potential in a 4-1 victory over AFC Wimbledon earlier in September, Burton will be eager to stabilise their defensive structure against visitors who are equally desperate to find a rhythm.
Mansfield Town travel to the venue aiming to move past a challenging patch of form that includes a recent 5-0 loss to Reading. Despite a goalless draw with Huddersfield Town last time out, they have struggled to maintain momentum in the league. Their history against Burton remains closely contested, highlighted by a 3-3 draw in August 2024 and a 2-1 Burton victory in August 2025, suggesting another tight affair.
