Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Barrow
Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 1-1
AFC Wimbledon
Barrow will be looking to put an end to their three-match winless run when they take on AFC Wimbledon on Saturday afternoon. The Bluebirds failed to win the previous three league matches, but it seems as if their performances are much better than the results. Midfielder Ben Whitfield is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in a 2-2 draw with MK Dons, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Dons, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Bradford City, but beating Barrow on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in five of the previous six meetings between the two sides in all competitions.
Highlighted Player (Nikola Tzanev):
Nikola Tzanev is a New Zealand goalkeeper who started his youth career at Crystal Palace. Tzanev then moved to Brentford and he continued wearing the red and white shirt at senior level. After ending his loan spell with Lewes, the 195-cm-tall shoot-stopper moved to AFC Wimbledon in 2017.
During the 2018/2019 campaign he played for Potters Bar Town as a loan player, but at the end of the season he returned to AFC Wimbledon. He made his League One debut with the Dons on August 3, 2019 in a 2-1 loss to Rotherham United. Speaking of his international career, Nik Tzanev made his New Zealand debut in a 1-0 win over Chinese Taipei on June 5, 2018.
The Dons goalkeeper has 3 caps for the New Zealand U20 team as well. Nikola Tzanev was born in Wellington on December 23, 1996 and his preferred foot is right.
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.
