Barrow and Cheltenham square off against each other at Holker Street in a League Two clash in what promises to be a tight 2-1 home win. The Bluebirds have struggled for consistency this season, winning just 20% of their games and averaging 1.50 goals scored per match while conceding 1.70. Their home form is modest, with only one win in recent games and clean sheets in just 20% of matches. BTTS is frequent in their games, particularly away, indicating defensive struggles.
Cheltenham, on the other hand, head into Friday's clash in better form, winning 50% of their fixtures and averaging 2.80 goals per game. They are solid defensively at home, conceding just one goal on average, though midfielder Ryan Broom’s injury could weaken their midfield creativity. Their attack remains sharp, with clean sheets in 40% of matches and BTTS in 50% of games.
Given Barrow’s struggles and Cheltenham’s attacking potential, the game could see goals at both ends. Therefore, we are tempted to place our bets on BTTS, alongside Barrow or Draw and Over 2.5 goals (83% H2H).
This League 2 match will be played on Friday 19 December 2025 at 19:45.
