Ian Evatt’s side earned four points last week with a 3-2 victory over Port Vale followed by a 0-0 draw against promotion contenders Cardiff City.
Burton Albion secured a 2-1 win over play-off chasing Bradford City last weekend, with goals from Alex Hartridge and Tyrese Shade.

Burton Albion in Focus
Burton Albion arrives at matchday 40 three places and four points clear of the relegation zone. A victory over Blackpool would leave the Brewers just one point shy of the 50-point mark in Sky Bet League One.
The Brewers have notched vital wins recently, including their triumph over Bradford City. An earlier away success against Northampton Town this month propelled Gary Bowyer’s team further from danger in the third tier. Burton has avoided the relegation zone since 21 February.
This season, Burton has shown resilience by winning after defeats on eight occasions. Their remaining fixtures mirror Blackpool’s, facing Peterborough United, Exeter City, and Leyton Orient.
This represents Burton’s eighth consecutive season in the third tier since dropping from the Championship in 2018. Their best result in the prior seven campaigns was ninth place in 2018/19.
