Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: The Dunes Hotel Stadium (5000 seats)

It's the second possibility for points this campaign as Barrow and Sutton United cross swords at The Dunes Hotel Stadium.

This pitch uses grass, unlike Sutton United's home stadium. The latest 37 games by the away team on grass have resulted in 8 wins, 10 draws and 19 losses.

It's no vacation for neither Barrow nor Sutton United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Barrow form and stats

The season before, Barrow's league statistics were 18 wins, 8 draws and 20 losses, providing 9th place in the League Two. During these 46 matches they scored {47 goals} and conceded 53. Performing at their own stadium in the last season Barrow delivered 12-3-8 (win-draw-lost) with {29 goals} and 19 conceded.

The regulars hope that Barrow will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away defeat in the Carabao Cup fixture against Bolton Wanderers. Ray, defender, was given a rating of 7.15/10 in that game, top of the team. Ray won 4 of 7 duels.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Tranmere Rovers and winning 2-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Barrow perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Barrow as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Barrow has won 3 of these, drawn 3 and lost 5.

Barrow are traveling soon after this match as the League Two match at Accrington Stanley awaits in three days.

Sutton United form and stats

Let's have a look at how Sutton United performed last season in the League Two: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 15 victories, 13 draws and 18 defeats. In total they scored 46 and conceded {58 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 8 and lost 11 with 20/37 goals scored/conceded.

The regulars enjoyed Sutton United's previous match versus Cambridge United, a Carabao Cup win (3-2) played at home. Midfield player Beautyman was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.75/10. Beautyman scored one goal.

A home win before that, celebrating 5-1 vs Notts County.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sutton United playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were 2 Sutton wins, 5 draws and 8 defeats.

After this away game Sutton United return home for a League Two game against Gillingham. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Head 2 Head
