Prediction: 1-1
AFC Wimbledon
Barrow will be looking to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Grimsby Town when they host AFC Wimbledon at their Holker Street in the FA Cup round 1. Barrow have been having their ups and downs in the League Two this season, with the team sitting in the 18th position in the standings. The League Two side aim to kick off their FA Cup campaign in style, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against AFC Wimbledon.
The Dons, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four games in the League One, and they are surely capable of matching Barrow and Holker Street. This will be their first encounter since 2011 when AFC Wimbledon defeated Barrow 2-0 in the National League. This time out share of spoils is on the cards as Barrow are tough to beat at home.
