Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Barrow
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Gillingham
Barrow will look to put an end to their three-game losing run when they take on Gillingham in the League Two round 21. The Bluebirds suffered a dip in form, with the team obviously struggling at the back and given their poor defensive performance in a 5-3 loss to Salford City, home win should be considered. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Cole Stockton, who scored a brace in the last league match, while Jamie Proctor remains on the sidelines through suspension.
Tuesday’s game comes too early for Junior Tiensia. The Gills, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Wrexham and Salford City. Stephen Clemence’s troops have been showing signs of improvement of late and given Barrow’s poor form in the English fourth tier, we predict that the visitors are going to grab something from the midweek clash.
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.
