Salford City form and stats

10-7-4 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Salford City so far this season.

In their previous game, the manager Bowyer led his Salford City to a defeat away at Bristol Rovers. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at The Peninsula Stadium.

Before that, Salford City had a home game versus Harrogate Town which ended with a victory 2-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Salford have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 20 games) they have won twelve times, drawn six and lost two.

The Salford City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 29 in 21 matches. Salford have only conceded 17 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Barrow form and stats

There's been little loot from Barrow's travels as they have only collected 19 points from 20 away games in the League Two. Barrow only have 5 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 4 draws. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Barrow are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Impressive finishing from Platt, Holloway, Rooney and Grayson secured the home win 4-0 against Forest Green Rovers in their previous game. As mentioned above, Barrow was the only team on the pitch versus Forest Green Rovers in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task. Midfield player Rooney was the top player of the team with a match rating of 9.42/10. Rooney scored one goal, signed up for two assists, hit five key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 20 successful passes (of 25 total).

Prior to that match, the Barrow manager Brown faced defeat when travelling to Crawley Town and losing 0-1.

Barrow are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, three draws and nine defeats. From a total of 14 matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Barrow as they have only managed to score 15 times from 20 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Barrow have seen the ball go into their own net 23 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The newest past meeting between these participants is the Barrow - Salford 0-2 played not long ago this season. Data for the prior five meetings featuring these two sides are: four wins for Salford City, zero draws and one win for Barrow. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
