Burton and Leyton Orient ground out a goalless draw in the first ever meeting between the two sides.
Separated only by goal difference in the League One table at the start of the game, it came as no surprise that it was a tight contest.
Albion looked to make a quick start with Josh Walker testing Sol Brynn in the visitors' goal in the opening minutes.
Joe Powell, who scored a screamer in the victory over Bristol Rovers last weekend, almost added to his collection with a curling right-footed effort that went inches wide.
Ruel Sotiriou got in behind the Burton defence as half-time approached but a poor touch allowed Burton keeper Max Crocombe to come out and smother the danger.
