The Brewers’ arrival in the FA Cup is fortunate given their current League One standing at the bottom of the standings after winning just three of their first 17 games. This kind of game could be the diversion the squad needs to play with some freedom and stagnation, which might boost their confidence afterwards.
The visitors have performed well in the FA Cup thus far this season, giving up only one goal in their four triumphs in the qualifying rounds that have got them this far. The defence played by Needham Market in knockout football has undoubtedly aided them and will be essential on Saturday against far more formidable opponents.
Prediction
We report Burton Albion defeating Needham Market 3-0.
Underdogs frequently succeed in these matches since the FA Cup is notorious for its cup upsets, which will give the visitors some optimism.
Despite Needham Market’s solid defensive play, Burton Albion are the clear favourites to move on in this match.
