Footymad preview History of the Burton Albion v Crawley Town fixture

Crawley Town pack their bags to visit Burton Albion at The Pirelli Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 14 out of 18 times.

The previous match played between the two at The Pirelli Stadium was more than three years back, in October 2008, the Brewers carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a (Conference) Premier match.
