Prediction published on 11/24/22, 12:47 PM  by Daniel Ngulu | Modified on 11/27/22 at 1:00 AM

Chippenham Town are coming from one away win and will be eyeing another when they travel to the Pirelli Stadium to take on Burton Albion in the second round of the FA Cup. Hosts Burton Albion, who play in the League One, will be billed the favorites in this game, not just by virtue of playing at home but also given they play in a higher league. They also have a four-game unbeaten run going into this game. They are coming from a 1-1 draw with Tranmere Rovers in the EFL Trophy, a game in which they registered a win on post match penalties. This will be Burton’s fifth straight home match and they are unbeaten in the earlier four, though each of the last three ended in a draw at full time. One positive for Burton is that they come into this game having scored in each of their last five matches, and they only failed to register more than a goal in one – the 1-1 draw with Tranmere.

Chippenham Town on their part, are coming from a 2-1 away win over Hastings United in the FA Trophy and they will be targeting a second straight away win. They have three straight away matches lined up and this will be the second but they have a task in trying to boost their recent run. In three of their last four matches, they have gone winless and they’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in those four games. Two times in the last four matches, they have conceded three goals and one thing they’ll want to carry into this game is their scoring run, having failed to score in just one of the last five games. Three of Chippenham Town’s last four matches have produced over 2.5 goals and both sides have scored in three of the four matches. In 10 straight away matches, Chippenham Town have failed to keep a clean sheet.
