Barrow form and stats

Barrow's results here at The Dunes Hotel Stadium in the League Two have been very modest with 3 victories, 8 draws and 6 defeats. With seven home League Two games in a row without a win, the Barrow fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Swindon Town game long ago, can be stopped today.

Stress levels are on the rise for Barrow's attacking players as they have now played 343 minutes without scoring in a league game. Rooney was their last goal scorer.

Barrow lost their last game at Bristol Rovers (placed 9th) after a 0-1 scoreline.

In the match before that, Barrow hosted Harrogate Town and drew the game 0-0.

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 17 matches with the results: Won two, drawn ten and lost five.
