We've seen highs and lows for these two teams so far this campaign, occupying positions near the middle of the League Two table. Here's the Grimsby Town - Barrow latest:
- Barrow have the fewest dropped points from leading position (4) in League Two
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Grimsby Town and Barrow.
Grimsby Town form and stats
Grimsby Town have collected 22 points from their League Two home games so far after 4-10-6.
Grimsby Town drew their last game, also a home match. Mansfield Town (placed 7th) was the opponent, 1-1 the score. A painful moment in the game against Mansfield Town was the missed penalty kick from Khan in the 52nd minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome. Attacking player Lloyd outperformed all others in that match and received a match rating of 7.85 out of 10. Lloyd scored one goal.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Doncaster Rovers and winning 2-1.This is expected to be a close game, with Grimsby Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Grimsby Town as a small favourite), we find 12 games. Grimsby Town has won 5 of these, drawn 3 and lost 4.
Both teams to score! That has happened in 5 league matches in a row for this team. Could it happen again?
Grimsby are traveling soon after this match as the League Two match at Tranmere Rovers awaits in four days.
25 goals have been conceded.
Barrow form and stats
6-5-10 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Barrow in their League Two matches away.
181 minutes! That's how long the Barrow goalkeeper Paul Farman and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Barrow are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Swindon Town (placed 12th). Midfielder Newby was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.62. Newby hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that, Barrow secured a home win against Crawley Town with the score 4-0.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Barrow playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were 3 Barrow wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats.
Observe: 10 of the last 13 league matches involving this team have ended with only one (or no) side scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting).
A new game in only four days for Barrow, the League Two home match versus Carlisle United. Busy days.
The attacking power of Barrow when travelling is not overwhelming with 17 goals scored from 21 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Barrow have seen the ball go into their own net 30 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Barrow - Grimsby Town 1-0 was the story when these two sides last played each other, earlier this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Grimsby Town six wins, three draws and Barrow one victory. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.
