Playing at home feels safe and good for Barrow, but Tranmere Rovers are fully determined and qualified to go home as winners. How will it end?
- Barrow have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Tranmere Rovers have the fewest conceded goals (19) in League Two
It's no vacation for neither Barrow nor Tranmere Rovers 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
With 3 League Two wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Barrow are certainly not brimming with confidence. When Barrow hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Mansfield Town, Newport County, Forest Green Rovers, Sutton United, Exeter City, Northampton Town and Swindon Town), they have won 2 of 4 matches! With Barrow having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager Cooper.
Barrow enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Northampton Town's place. The match ended 1-0 with Holloway scoring. Farman, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.01 out of 10 in that game. Farman topped it up with a clean sheet.
Prior to that, an away loss at Newport County.There will be little rest for Barrow after this match as they are travelling to Hartlepool United for a League Two game in only three days.
The Barrow fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 14 matches. On the other hand, Barrow have conceded 19 goals.
Tranmere Rovers form and stats
The visitors, who have the fewest conceded goals (19) in League Two, are W4-D6-L3 on the road this term. That's in the League Two.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-4 defeat against Forest Green Rovers.After this away game Tranmere return home for a League Two game against Swindon Town. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Tranmere Rovers when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 13 league matches away. Tranmere Rovers are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 9 times in 13 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
