Both teams have just opened the season with 2 draws in a row — Notts County drew Luton Town 2-2 (League One 22 Aug) followed by 1-1 with Leicester City (15 Aug), while Burton Albion beat Leicester City 2-1 (22 Aug) before drawing Stevenage 1-1 (15 Aug). This match is therefore a clash of two teams still searching for their rhythm, and in their last 4 meetings, only 1 has seen over 3 goals combined (Burton Albion 1-4 Notts County Sep 09); the rest ended 1-1 or 1-0. This time the total goals line is steady at 2.5, and the over side has been backed from 2 down to 1.97, but no bookmaker has moved the line simultaneously, indicating the market does not believe this game will be open and end-to-end. Both teams' opening form, averaging just 2.25 goals per game combined (from 4 matches), further supports a low-scoring picture.
