Burton boss Dino Maamria says his side are capable of beating anyone at home ahead of Tuesday night’s clash with Wanderers.
The Brewers enter the game in high spirits following a 3-2 victory against promotion hopefuls Sheffield Wednesday.
Burnley loanee Mark Helm bagged a brace against the Owls, with John Brayford also getting on the scoresheet.
Maamria hopes they can build on their momentum against the Whites, who are unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions.
The Burton boss labelled Helm a “real asset” and hopes the youngster can continue to play a key role during the final run-in.
“It was a brilliant day for the football club. The performance was up there with the best I have seen at the Pirelli Stadium,” he told Yorkshire Live.
“We were convincing winners really. We scored three brilliant goals, conceded two sloppy ones but even then, I never doubted we would win the game.
“We believe we can beat anybody here. When you are playing the best team in the league you have to go into the game with intent and believe that you can win it. If you can’t win the game in your head you can’t win it on the pitch.
“Everyone saw our intent from the first minute and you could see the belief, that confidence. You saw it in the way Mark Helm took his goals and playing like that we can beat anybody.
“Mark is a real asset. He has huge potential. He’s robust and his quality with the ball is there for all to see. He runs his socks off and he’s the complete midfielder.
“You also saw the way we stayed resilient when we conceded a penalty in front of their fans and that shows how we have grown as a team. We saw it through brilliantly."
Wanderers ran out 2-1 winners when the sides met back in October, with Jon Dadi Bodvarsson scoring a dramatic winner in the eighth minute of stoppage time. Amadou Bakayoko was also on target against the Brewers that day.
The Whites were beaten 3-1 on their last trip to the Pirelli Stadium despite a late consolation from Dion Charles.
