Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Barrow will be aiming to record their first league win since October 5, 2024 when they take on Fleetwood in the League Two round 21. The Bluebirds do not seem to be at their sharpest, but Saturday’s clash could turn their fortunes around in the English fourth tier. Forward Charlie Kirk is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in a 1-0 loss to Walsall, with Elliot Newby pushing for a start as well.
The Cod Army, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their four-game winless run in the League Two. As both Fleetwood and Barrow are eager to return to winning ways in the League Two, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. Wales midfielder Ryan Broom should sneak into Fleetwood’s starting XI after scoring as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Accrington at the weekend.
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.
