Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Barrow will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Newport County when they take on Grimsby Town in the League Two round 41. The Bluebirds are determined to make it to the playoffs and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Friday’s clash. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of the visit of Grimsby.
The Mariners, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Wrexham, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the promotion-chasing hosts. To make things even worse for the away team, top scorer Danny Rose continues to miss out with injury, while Curtis Thompson should start as a substitute once again. In their last meeting at Holker Street Barrow defeated Grimsby 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
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.
