Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Barrow will look to put an end to their six-game winless run in all competitions when they take on Colchester United on Matchday 15. The Bluebirds have been involved in some low-scoring games of late, with the team obviously struggling up front, but they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
The U’s, meanwhile, are on an eight-game winless run in all competitions. As Colchester have yet to record a win on the road this term, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the round 15 clash. In their last meeting at the venue Barrow defeated Colchester 2-0, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. Midfielder Alex Woodyard is widely expected to return to Colchester’s starting XI.
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.
