Burton - Stevenage
Last updated: Today, at Burton Albion host Stevenage on League One opening day
Burton Albion begin their League One campaign at Pirelli Stadium facing Stevenage, looking to build on a solid recent home record against their visitors. The Brewers have secured victory in two of their last three home league encounters with Stevenage, including a 1-0 win on 18 February 2025. However, they come into this fixture following a 1-2 defeat to Blackburn Rovers in the EFL Cup on 8 August 2026, suggesting a need to find early season form.
Stevenage, meanwhile, arrive having started their season with a 2-1 away victory over Wycombe Wanderers in the EFL Cup on 7 August 2026. Their away form against Burton Albion has been mixed, with a notable 4-0 triumph in the EFL Trophy on 10 December 2024, but also a 0-1 loss on 7 March 2026 in League One. This opening day clash represents an opportunity for both sides to establish a positive early trajectory in the league.
