Insights:
  • Colchester United have the most dropped points from leading position (17) in League Two

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a League Two game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Carlisle United. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Barrow form and stats

The visitors are W4-D3-L7 on the road this term. That's in the League Two.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Barrow, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-5 versus Carlisle United (placed 3rd). Barrow lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one. The attacker Bennett got a match rating of 6.72 in that game. Bennett dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A loss against Northampton Town was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Barrow have conceded 24 goals in these games.
