Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Tranmere, Bradford City will look to climb to the playoffs places when they welcome Barrow to their Valley Parade on Matchday 33. The Bantams have found their best form of late, and, as a result, the bookies see at favourites to pick up all three points from Saturday’s encounter. Veteran forward Matt Derbyshire limped off with injury in the midweek triumph, with Abobaker Eisa likely to step up.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last five league fixtures. Barrow have little to play for in the season finale, and given Bradford City’s fine form, we predict that the hosts are going to extend their winning ru to three games. Barrow defender Rory Feely is in the middle of his three-game ban.
Highlighted Team (Barrow):
Founded back in 1901, Barrow is an English club that competes in the League two, the fourth tier of the English football system. The Bluebirds are well known for their blue shirts with white details, but yellow is the dominant colour of their away jersey. Barrow play home games at Holker Street, the stadium which can hold up to 5,045 spectators.
The venue was opened in 1909, and it has to be noted that no fewer than 16,874 people attended the FA Cup match between Barrow and Swansea in January, 1954. The Bluebirds have won two FA Trophies (1989/90, 2009/10), with the team lifting the Lancashire Senior Cup trophy in the 1954/55.
The likes of James Bell, Jim Collins, Andy McLaren, Jimmy Mulholland, Jackie Robertson, Barry Diamond, and George King are the most notable footballers who played for Barrow in the past. It has to be noted that the Bluebirds have never competed in the English top flight.
