Stevenage form and stats

7-6-5 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Stevenage so far this season. Stevenage are on a three game winning streak in their home games.

A nice win for Stevenage last time playing, versus Carlisle United. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with Luke Norris, Tom Pett and Arthur Read scoring for the victors. Preceding that game was the away draw at Southend United that finished 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 Stevenage have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won two, drawn seven and lost one.

Stevenage has scored 20 league goals at home this season, in 18 matches. Stevenage are not conceding a lot of goals here at The Lamex Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 13 from 18 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Barrow form and stats

There's been little loot from Barrow's travels as they have only collected 16 points from 17 away games in the League Two. Barrow only have 5 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 1 draw. Barrow has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Home advantage was not enough for Barrow in their previous game, as they lost their League Two-match, hosting Grimsby Town, 0-1. Before that, Barrow secured a home win against Crawley Town with the score 3-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Barrow playing away and similar expectations, we found 19 relevant matches. Results were eleven Barrow wins, three draws and five defeats.

The attacking power of Barrow when travelling is not overwhelming with 16 goals scored from 17 league matches away. Barrow have conceded 20 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head
