Barrow hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 4 points and a 21st position in the League Two table. Visiting Walsall holds 9th place with 10 pts.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Barrow and Walsall.

Opportunity lost for Barrow in the Bolton Wanderers match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Walsall form and stats
Things could have gone better for Walsall in their League Two away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. It's three draws from Walsall's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Bradford City (placed 14th) in their previous outing. The League Two match ended in a draw 1-1. A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Exeter City.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Walsall playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were five Walsall wins, five draws and five defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Walsall are hosting Cambridge United in the League Two only three days away.
Walsall have the goal stats of 3-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
