Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Following a 1-1 draw with Tranmere Rovers, Barrow will look to return to winning ways in League Two when they face Bradford City on Matchday 24. The Bluebirds defeated Fleetwood 2-0 in their last home game, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Wednesday’s showdown. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Bradford.
The Bantams, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Port Vale and Chesterfield Town. Bradford City, though, are on a five-game winless run on the road and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Barrow’s party at Holker Street. Defender Paul Huntington continues to miss out with injury, while Jay Benn is a major doubt after leaving the pitch after just 30 minutes at the weekend. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier, the two sides played out a 1-1 draw.
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.
