Peterborough United will be aiming to make it back-to-back league victories after beating Leicester City 3-1 away from home, while Burton Albion arrive struggling for goals and results.
Posh's victory at Leicester was Savage's first league match in charge and their second win of the League One season. They have now won three of their last four matches in all competitions, offering encouragement after a difficult start to the campaign.
Burton, meanwhile, have gone three matches without a win and have managed only one victory in their last eight games across all competitions.
The Brewers have scored only once in their last three matches, while their last five outings have produced just eight goals in total.
Peterborough have struggled to find consistent scorers, with Ben Woods and Harry Leonard joint-top scorers in the league on just two goals each.
However, Savage's arrival and the Leicester result give the hosts reason to be confident they can secure another win.

Peterborough United v Burton Albion Prediction
Best Bet: Peterborough United to win @ 5/6
Peterborough head into this fixture with renewed confidence after beating Leicester City 3-1 in Robbie Savage's first league match in charge. It was their second league win of the season and their third victory in four matches across all competitions.
Burton have struggled to build momentum, going three games without a win and managing just one victory in their last eight outings. Their recent attacking returns are particularly concerning, with only one goal scored across their last three matches.
Posh have not been prolific in the league, with Ben Woods and Harry Leonard leading their scoring charts on two goals apiece. However, the win at Leicester could provide the platform for improvement under Savage.
With Burton struggling for results and goals, Peterborough look a good bet to claim three points at home.
Alternative Bet: Over 10 corners @ 11/10
Peterborough's matches have consistently produced high corner counts this season, with their last five games averaging 10.8 corners. Savage's first match in charge saw 16 corners, while their season average stands at 10.4 per game.
Burton's recent fixtures have also been productive in terms of corners. Their last five matches have averaged 11.6 corners, and their last 10 have averaged 10.2 per match.
The Brewers have seen at least 12 corners in each of their last three matches, further strengthening the case for this selection.
With both teams regularly contributing to high corner totals, backing over 10.5 corners looks attractive.
Peterborough United v Burton Albion Bet Builder Tip
- Under 3 goals
- Both teams to score - No
- Peterborough United to score in the first half
Pays 31/4
Peterborough's win at Leicester was an encouraging start for Savage, who will want his side to carry that momentum into their first home match under his guidance.
Posh scored three goals in that victory, all before half-time, and getting on the scoresheet before half-time could help them establish control against a Burton side short of confidence.
They will be keen to start positively in front of their own supporters, and an early goal would put pressure on visitors who have struggled to score consistently.
The Brewers have scored just once in their last three matches, while their last five games across all competitions have produced only eight goals, suggesting a lower-scoring match and that Peterborough are more than capable of keeping Burton out.
