Another exciting fixture in the League Two. Sutton United is in the 16th place from playing two games. They greet Barrow who are placed 4th from two fixtures.

It's no vacation for neither Sutton United nor Barrow as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Sutton United form and stats

The first League Two game here at The Borough Sports Ground resulted in a draw. Last season Sutton United's home game statistics were 14 victories, 5 draws and 4 defeats from 23 games.

The regulars are hoping that Sutton will fight back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away defeat in the Carabao Cup fixture against Milton Keynes Dons.

Prior to that, an away loss at Doncaster Rovers in the League Two.

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 Sutton United have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 12 games) they have won 8 times, drawn 1 and lost 3.

The manager Gray will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Crewe Alexandra in only three days.

At The Borough Sports Ground, Sutton United has the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

Barrow 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 5 wins, 5 draws and 13 defeats from 23 matches.

It's another away fixture for the visitors, as they travelled to Blackpool in their previous outing. The Carabao Cup duel ended 0-0. Goalkeeper Farman got the top player rating of the team with 8.15/10. Farman topped it up with a clean sheet.

That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus Bradford City in the League Two.

We have checked recent matches where Barrow have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 15 games were 3 victories, 3 draws and 9 defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Barrow are hosting Walsall in the League Two only three days away.

3 goals so far away for Barrow, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between these sides: Sutton United won two, Barrow triumphed in four and we saw four draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with less than 2,5 goals.
