Barrow vs Morecambe betting preview: Even match expected

It's no vacation for neither Barrow nor Morecambe 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 story so far in the League Two for Barrow at their home stadium (Progression Solicitors Stadium) is 3 wins, 7 draws and 3 defeats. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Barrow to get some points in this home game.

S. Quigley was the last player to score a league goal for Barrow and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Barrow haven't scored in 233 minutes.

No payout for Barrow in their previous match, an away game at Salford City that ended in defeat 0-1. Preceding that match was the home game against Cambridge United that was lost 0-2.

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 eleven games. Barrow has won two of these, drawn five and lost four.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Barrow as they are travelling to their away game against Oldham Athletic in the League Two. That match is three days after this one.

Barrow are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 13 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Barrow's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 18 times.
