Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Barrow will look to put an end to their five-game winless run when they take on AFC Wimbledon in the League Two round 16. The Hatters are only two points behind the playoffs berth and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Dons this weekend. Kian Spence has been struggling with injury of late, while winger Elliot Newby returns to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the EFL Trophy win over Aston Villa U21.
AFC Wimbledon, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, losing to both Port Vale and Grimsby Town. As the visitors are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Barrow in Furness, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. In their last meeting in the League Two AFC Wimbledon defeated Barrow 2-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
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.
