Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Barrow & Manchester United U21 face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the EFL Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!

It's no vacation for neither Barrow nor Manchester United U21 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

Last season their EFL Trophy adventure ended in the group stage.

4-0-1 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Barrow so far this season.

Barrow haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 211 minutes ago. Gordon scored that one.

Barrow are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Tranmere Rovers. Defender Warren got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.3/10. Warren won 11 of 18 duels.

Ahead of that match, Barrow lost 0-2 at home to Leyton Orient.

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 17 games. Barrow has won 3 of these, drawn 8 and lost 6.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Barrow as they have a new game in only four days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Mansfield Town are visiting.

The Barrow fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 8 goals in 5 league matches.

Manchester United U21 form and stats

Last season their EFL Trophy adventure ended in the group stage.

The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League 2 Division One travels is 0 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

There might be some fixture complaints from Manchester as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 1-6 against Blackburn Rovers U21. Manchester United U21 lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-6 beating and focus on this one.

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against West Ham United U21 in the Premier League 2 Division One.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 5 similar matches played by Manchester United U21 in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Manchester United U21, 0 draws and 2 defeats.

A new game in only four days for Manchester United U21, the Premier League 2 Division One home match versus Brighton U21. Busy days.

The travelling fans enjoy Manchester's attacking play in away games, having scored 6 goals in 4 league matches away. There are big problems for the Manchester United U21 defense as they have conceded 13 goals in 4 away games.
