A place in the third round of the FA Cup is at stake when Burton Albion host Chippenham Town at the Pirelli Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Brewers are embroiled in a relegation battle in League One and will be looking for a pleasant distraction when they face off against the National League South side this weekend.
Burton have struggled to move up the third-tier table over the past few months following the sacking of former boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, with 52-year-old Dino Maamria finding the assignment in Staffordshire tough since he took over at the start of September.
Albion – who enjoyed two seasons in the Championship between 2016 and 2018 – are six points off safety in the League One standings, having collected a mere 14 points from their opening 19 matches in the league. Defensive issues have plagued Burton’s campaign so far, with the Brewers conceding a league-high 40 goals this season, and only recording two clean sheets in League One all term.
Burton have been handed some favourable draws in this year’s FA Cup, most recently with non-league Chippenham but also their first-round opponents Needham Market who play in the seventh tier of English football.
