Season ticket holders at Furness Building Society Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Barrow languishing in the 22nd position so far. The guesting Tranmere Rovers will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Barrow have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Tranmere Rovers has the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in League Two
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Barrow form and stats
Barrow have collected 12 points from their League Two home games so far after 2-6-2.
Barrow are returning here after visiting Port Vale in a League Two game and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. P. Brough and S. Quigley scored the goal(s). Ahead of that match, Barrow won a home game hosting Cheltenham Town (3-0).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Barrow have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won two, drawn four and lost three.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Barrow, as the League Two home game vs Exeter City is only four days away.
The Barrow fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 17 goals in 10 league matches. Barrow have conceded 15 from these games.
Tranmere Rovers form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most clean sheets (5) away in League Two, on their League Two travels is 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.
Tranmere's previous game was their home loss versus Bradford City (0-1). Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Bolton Wanderers.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Tranmere playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were four Tranmere Rovers wins, five draws and one defeat.
Tranmere has another fixture away, a League Two game, against Colchester United in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Tranmere Rovers have scored 11 goals in 10 league games away. Tranmere's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 15 goals from these trips.
