Barrow form and stats

Barrow's results here at Furness Building Society Stadium in the League Two have been very modest with 1 victory, 6 draws and 2 defeats. It's trouble wherever Barrow are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. The Barrow manager D. Dunn might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

No payout for Barrow in their previous match, an away game at Scunthorpe United that ended in defeat 1-2. Prior to that, an away loss at Crawley Town.

The defeat against Scunthorpe United was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored one minutes into stoppage time (by J. Clarke).

A decent goal production from Barrow in their home games so far, with 14 goals from 9 league matches. Barrow have conceded 15 from these games.
