Barrow form and stats

The hosts won their first League Two game here at The Dunes Hotel Stadium, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Barrow last season were 5 wins, 9 draws and 9 losses from 23 games.

Barrow lost their last game at Sutton United (placed 13th) after a 0-1 scoreline. The first loss after going undefeated through three league rounds. Midfielder Neal was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.01 (out of ten) in that game. Neal hit one key pass.

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 16 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 9 and lost 5.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Barrow as they have a new game in only four days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Harrogate Town are visiting.

Early season league goal statistics from Barrow's 1 home game: 3 goals, 2 conceded.

Walsall form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the League Two, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 4 wins, 7 draws and 12 defeats from 23 matches.

Walsall delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Stevenage (placed 5th) in their previous fixture. Kinsella got a match rating of 7.5 in that game, top player of the team. Kinsella hit one key pass.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 12 similar matches played by Walsall in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Walsall, 4 draws and 5 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Walsall now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League Two game at Gillingham is waiting in only four days.

1 goal so far away for Walsall, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.
