As both Accrington and Barrow will adopt an attack-minded approach in Friday's clash, our prediction points toward a 2-2 draw. The Accy Stanley return home aiming to bounce back after consecutive defeats, but their overall form still looks solid with 1.80 points per game and an impressive 60% home win rate. They’ve been reliable at the Wham Stadium, scoring 1.80 goals per home match and producing a healthy 1.64 expected goals, which suggests their recent dip may be temporary. Defensively, they concede 1.20 per home game, but their consistent attacking output—scoring in 80% of home fixtures—keeps them competitive in most contests. There are no fresh injury worries, giving manager John Doolan a settled squad.
The Bluebirds, meanwhile, continue to struggle for wins despite remaining difficult to break down. Their form reads DDLDL, reflecting a team that draws often but lacks cutting edge. Away from home, they score 1.80 goals per match, yet concede 1.60, highlighting their open, transition-heavy style. Encouragingly, they have scored in every away league game so far. Defender Niall Canavan returns from suspension, a welcome boost for a side that has kept just 20% clean sheets all season.
Given strong goal averages (3.00 vs 3.40) and high expected goals on both ends, Over 2.5 goals is our main betting tip for this League Two matchup, alongside BTTS and Over 1.5 goals First Half.
This League 2 match will be played on Friday 26 December 2025 at 15:00.
