Salford City form and stats
3-3-4 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Salford City so far this season. With seven home League Two games in a row without a win, the Salford fans could feel they are not getting value for their money.
Salford City's previous match was a EFL Trophy game also played at their own arena, ending 1-0 against Port Vale. The home team hope to to build on that result.
In the preceding match a 3-0 victory visiting Gillingham.This is expected to be a close game, with Salford City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Salford City as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Salford City has won 3 of these, drawn 5 and lost 3.

Barrow form and stats
There's been little loot from Barrow's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 10 away games in the League Two. Barrow only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Barrow have lost on their last two travels.
Waters was the last player to score for the away team. Barrow haven't scored a league goal in the last 249 minutes.
The manager Wild was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium Furness Building Society Stadium. Barrow suffered a 0-1 loss to Swindon Town (placed 4th). It is a bit worrying for Barrow that their goalie Farman managed seven saves in the Swindon Town match, but still were unable to hinder a beating.
Preceding that game, the 0-5 loss visiting Stevenage's place.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 10 similar matches played by Barrow in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Barrow, 2 draws and 6 defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Barrow are hosting Tranmere Rovers in the League Two only three days away.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Barrow as they have only managed to score 9 times from 10 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. Barrow's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips.
