Prediction: 2-1
Crawley
Saturday’s football game at Holker Street pits together Barrow and Crawley Town, the two teams who are almost level on points in the League Two standings. Barrow failed to win the previous six league fixtures, with the team dropping to 16th place in the standings. Mark Cooper is likely to stick to the 3-5-2 formation with Gordon and Zanzala up front.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, are on a four-game losing run in the League Two ahead of the trip to Barrow in Furness. Since the Bluebirds will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. In their last meeting at the venue Barrow defeated Crawley Town 3-2, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Player (Luke James):
After starting his senior career at Hartlepool United, Luke James moved to Peterborough United in 2014. The English attacker played for the likes of Bradford City and Bristol Rovers on loan as well before joining Forest Green in the 2017/18 season.
After making 14 appearances in the league for the Green Army, Luke James returned to Hartlepool. In the summer of 2020 he joined his current club Barrow. James made his Barrow debut in the League two on September 12, 2009 in a 1-1 draw with Stevenage, and he scored his first goal for the club the following month in a 2-2 draw with Walsall.
His main position is centre-forward, but he is capable of producing fine displays as a winger as well. Born in Amble, England on November 4, 1994, Luke James has a contract with Barrow until July 20, 2020. His preferred foot is right.
