Barrow vs Colchester Prediction and Betting Tips 14 February 2026

Barrow head into this clash in troubling form after five straight defeats, scoring just 1.20 goals per match overall while conceding 2.00. Therefore, we predict that the Bluebirds will suffer a 2-1 loss to Colchester on Saturday afternoon. Barrow's home record is particularly concerning, with three consecutive losses and only 0.67 goals scored per game at Holker Street. Injuries to Foley and Hemmings further weaken the squad, while Tyler Walker remains a major doubt. Barrow’s defensive numbers underline their struggles, having kept zero clean sheets all season and posting an xGA of 1.62, a figure that continues to trend upward.

Colchester, by contrast, arrive with confidence after a 2-0 win over Shrewsbury and showing a much stronger statistical profile. The U's average 1.50 goals per game overall and boast an impressive 2.40 points per game at home, though their away form (1.00 PPG) is more modest. Still, their defensive record—1.00 goals conceded on average—is significantly more stable than Barrow’s. Their xGA of 1.21 also suggests a team better equipped to manage games.

With Barrow struggling at both ends and Colchester carrying momentum, the visitors appear to have the clearer edge. Considering Colchester's fine away form, we believe that there is big value in betting on Away Win, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Colchester Over 1.5 as Barrow matches average 3.20 goals.

This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 14 February 2026 at 15:00.
