Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Holker Street will be the centre of attention when Barrow and MK Dons square off against each other in the League Two round 19. The Bluebirds failed to win the last eight League Two games and they face yet another uphill task against the in-form visitors. Fit-again midfielder Kian Spence is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. The Dons, on the other hand, look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their seventh consecutive win in the English fourth tier.
Given Barrow’s anything but good form in the League Two, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the promotion-chasing visitors. In their last meeting in a competitive match Barrow defeated MK Dons 1-0, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge. A man to watch in the away team will be Alex Gilbey, who scored a brace in a 3-0 win over Chesterfield.
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.
