Barrow form and stats
Barrow have collected 13 points from their League Two home games so far after 3-4-3.
The fans are hoping that Barrow will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the League Two game against Tranmere Rovers (placed 3rd). Midfielder White was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.14 (out of ten) in that game. White had 44 successful passes (of 50 total).
Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Ipswich Town.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Barrow have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won four times, drawn one and lost five.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Barrow, as the League Two home game vs Bradford City is only three days away.
The Barrow fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. Barrow have conceded 12 in these home matches. Barrow has at home met teams with this table position (low), four times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.
Oldham Athletic form and stats
There's been little loot from Oldham Athletic's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 10 away games in the League Two. Oldham Athletic only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Benachour, the Oldham manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
The manager Benachour was unhappy after their last game, a League Two match played at their home ground Boundary Park. Oldham suffered a 1-3 loss to Scunthorpe United (placed 22nd). Couto was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.74. The defender Couto scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 2 of 4 duels.
Ahead of that game was the 5-5 draw at home against Forest Green Rovers.Oldham are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, six draws and seven defeats. From a total of 18 matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Oldham manager Benachour as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Hartlepool United.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 14 goals have been conceded by Oldham Athletic in these games.
