Barrow hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 8 points and a 18th position in the League Two table. Visiting Bradford City holds 15th place with 9 pts.
It's no vacation for neither Barrow nor Bradford City 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
0 victories, 5 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what Barrow have to build on here at Furness Building Society Stadium in the League Two. So many draws at home for Barrow, an amazing five in a row now.
Barrow are returning here after visiting Mansfield Town in a League Two game and winning with a 4-2 scoreline. Bradley Barry, Harrison Biggins, Patrick Brough and Josh Kay scored the goal(s). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Walsall.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
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 eight games. Barrow has won one of these, drawn three and lost four.
There will be little rest for Barrow after this match as they are travelling to Grimsby Town for a League Two game in only three days.
A decent goal production from Barrow in their home games so far, with 8 goals from 5 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 8 goals have been conceded.
