Fylde form and stats
When playing at home in the Vanarama National League, Fylde have managed 4 wins, 5 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 13 games.
The Fylde fans got no joy from their last match, a Vanarama National League game also here at Mill Farm: A 1-2 defeat against Stockport County (placed 5th). Preceding that game was the away draw at Barrow that finished 1-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Fylde perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Fylde as a small favourite), we find three games. Fylde has won 1 of these, drawn 1 and lost 1.
The manager J. Hills will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Eastleigh in only three days.
The Fylde fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 13 matches. Fylde have conceded 18 in these home matches.
The visitors, who have the the best goal difference (+19) in Vanarama National League, are W7-D2-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Vanarama National League.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Hartlepool United (placed 15th) in their previous outing. The Vanarama National League match ended in a draw 2-2. A draw for Barrow before that, at their own venue hosting Fylde (1-1).
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 nine relevant matches. Results were 6 Barrow wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
After this away game Barrow return home for a Vanarama National League game against Ebbsfleet United. That game is only three sleeps after this.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Barrow are regular goalscorers on their travels. As opposed to that, Barrow have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Barrow - Fylde 1-1. Fylde-Barrow H2H statistics last eight meetings regardless of arena: Fylde 5 wins, Barrow 0 wins, 3 draws. 3 of these eight matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
The National League is the fifth highest level of the English football league system. 24 professional and semi-professional teams play a total of 552 fixtures to top the league table. The National League is the top division of the National League System which contains division levels five to eleven.
