Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Barrow play host to Morecambe at their Holker Street in what is expected to be an interesting League Two game. The Bluebirds aim to build on a 2-1 win over Cheltenham Town and a triumph over Morecambe will see them stay in the automatic promotion berth. Scotland forward Andrew Dallas is pushing for a rare start after scoring the winner as a substitute in the last league match.
The Shrimps, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only four points on their account. As the relegation strugglers failed to impress in a 2-1 loss at Accrington, we are tempted to bet on the promotion-chasing hosts this time out. In their last meeting at the venue Barrow defeated Morecambe 1-0, with Dominic Telford scoring the only goal of the match. Derek Adams has no fresh injury concerns ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
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.
