The fans are hoping that Barrow will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the League Two game against Morecambe (placed 11th). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a FA Cup home game that ended 0-0 versus AFC Wimbledon (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties).

Joel Dixon had a busy but productive day in the Morecambe match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

Salford City form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Salford City so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-4 (win-draw-lose). A depressing four defeats in a row for Salford in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Stevenage.

Salford play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Carlisle United (placed 5th). Prior to that match, the Salford manager G. Alexander faced defeat when travelling to Newport County and losing 0-3.

A quick return to home after this game, as Salford are hosting Leicester U21 in the EFL Trophy only three days away.

The visiting Salford have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 7 goals from 6 games. 7 goals have been conceded by Salford in these games. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
